Rapala Countdown Squid SQCD11 11cm 3m 16g SFC

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 the exact depth where cephalopods are hiding.

Balsa Body for Natural Movement

Crafted from lightweight balsa wood, this 11 cm lure delivers a lifelike swimming action that triggers strikes from cautious squid. The buoyant yet weighted construction allows smooth, controlled descents and an enticing retrieve.

Double Stainless Steel Hook Basket

Equipped with two rings of 12 ultra-sharp stainless steel points (2×12 configuration), the Countdown Squid securely holds soft-bodied cephalopods once they latch on. The corrosion-resistant hooks stand up to saltwater use session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Squid series is available in two sizes and multiple colour patterns to match conditions and target behaviour.

• SQCD09 (9 cm / 12 g): Compact profile for calmer water, finicky squid, or lighter tackle setups

• SQCD11 (11 cm / 16 g): Larger silhouette for deeper water, stronger currents, or bigger cephalopods – includes SFC colour

• Natural tones (CG, GT, GBT, GRT, BRH, HT) for clear water and wary targets
