Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 11cm 3m 16g HT

Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 HT – Target Cephalopods with Precision Depth Control

The Countdown Squid lets you apply Rapala's legendary Countdown method to squid and octopus fishing, sinking at a steady rate of approximately 30 cm per second so you can count down to the exact depth where cephalopods are hiding.

Balsa Body for Natural Movement

Crafted from genuine balsa wood, the SQCD11 delivers a lifelike swimming action that triggers strikes from cautious squid. The lightweight yet durable construction allows for precise casting and a responsive feel throughout the retrieve.

Double Basket Hook System for Secure Hookups

Equipped with two stainless steel hook baskets featuring 2×12 extra-sharpened points, this lure ensures reliable hooksets on soft-bodied cephalopods. The inox construction resists saltwater corrosion for long-lasting performance in marine environments.
