Rapala Countdown Magnum Crankbait 14cm 4.5–5.4m 36g Purple Mackerel

Rapala Countdown Magnum — Precision Trolling Depth at 4.5–5.4 m

The Rapala Countdown Magnum (CDM) in Purple Mackerel is a purpose-built trolling wobbler that sinks to a controlled depth window of 4.5–5.4 m, putting your lure exactly where mid-water predators are hunting.

Controlled Sink Rate for Mid-Water Predators

Crafted from stable Abachi wood, the Countdown Magnum sinks at a consistent, predictable rate so you can count it down to your target depth before engaging the troll. This makes it a reliable choice for reaching suspended fish holding over deeper structure without the need for additional weight or downriggers.

Classic Rapala Wobble That Triggers Strikes

At 14 cm and 36 g, this lure carries enough mass to run true at trolling speeds while delivering the tight, lifelike wobbling action Rapala is known for. The Purple Mackerel finish offers a bold, contrast-rich pattern that performs well in varying light and water clarity conditions. Two size 2/0 VMC Perma Steel treble hooks provide solid hook-up rates on hard-running fish.

Choose the Right Variant

The Countdown Magnum is available across five body lengths, each covering a distinct depth range and suited to different species and setups. Choose the size that matches your target depth and species:
