Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid brings Rapala's legendary Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, letting you systematically work through the water column at approximately 30 cm per second sink rate.

Balsa Body for Natural Movement

Crafted from premium balsa wood, the SQCD11 delivers a lifelike swimming action that triggers strikes from wary cephalopods. The buoyant yet weighted construction creates an enticing presentation whether you're casting or slow-trolling along rocky structures.

Double Basket Hook System

Equipped with two stainless steel hook baskets featuring 2×12 ultra-sharp points, this lure maximises your hook-up ratio. The configuration ensures secure holds on tentacles and arms, reducing the chance of lost catches.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series offers two sizes to match conditions and target species. Select based on depth requirements, water clarity, and the size of cephalopods in your area.

• SQCD11 (11 cm, 16 g): Larger profile for deeper presentations around 3 m; ideal for bigger squid and octopus, or when extra casting distance is needed – FT, GGT, GT, SFC, CG, BRH, HT, GBT, OTU, BSRD and other colours available

• SQCD09 (9 cm, 12 g): Compact option for shallower water or smaller cephalopods; suits finesse approaches and calmer conditions
