Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 11cm 3m 16g GGT

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 – Precision Depth Control for Cephalopod Fishing

Target squid and octopus at exactly the depth you want with the proven Countdown method and a purpose-built balsa body.

Sink Rate You Can Count On

The Countdown Squid sinks at approximately 30 cm per second, letting you mentally track depth after each cast. Whether squid are holding at 1 metre or 3 metres, you control the presentation by simply counting down before beginning your retrieve.

Double Basket Hooks for Secure Hookups

Two stainless-steel hook baskets with 2×12 sharpened points grip tentacles reliably. The design reduces missed strikes and keeps cephalopods pinned during the fight, even when they ink and jet erratically.
