Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 11cm 3m 16g GT

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid lets you apply Rapala's proven Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, sinking at approximately 30 cm per second so you can work any depth with pinpoint accuracy.

Balsa Body for Lifelike Action

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, the SQCD11 delivers a natural, enticing swimming action that triggers strikes from wary cephalopods. The buoyant yet weighted construction allows precise sink-rate control for consistent results.

Dual Stainless Steel Hook Baskets

Equipped with two baskets featuring 24 extra-sharp stainless steel points (2×12 configuration), this lure ensures secure hook-ups even on tentative takes. The inox hooks resist corrosion in saltwater environments.
