Rapala Countdown Magnum Crankbait 18cm 5.4–6.3m 70g Green Mackerel

Rapala Countdown Magnum — Deep Trolling Power in Green Mackerel

The Rapala Countdown Magnum (CDM) is a purpose-built deep-trolling hardbait that reaches predators others can't. The 18 cm, 70 g Green Mackerel version dives to 5.4–6.3 m, making it a go-to choice when big fish hold in the mid-water column.

Abachi Wood Construction for Lasting Durability

Handcrafted from stable Abachi wood, the Countdown Magnum delivers consistent action trip after trip. The dense natural material gives the lure the weight needed to sink on a controlled rate while maintaining the tight, rhythmic wobble that predatory fish find irresistible. Rust-resistant components keep it ready to fish even in demanding saltwater conditions.

Controlled Sink Rate for Precise Depth Presentation

Unlike crankbaits that rely solely on speed to reach depth, the Countdown Magnum uses its built-in sinking rate to let you count it down to the exact strike zone before trolling begins. Once underway, the deep-diving metal lip holds the 5.4–6.3 m running depth reliably, so two rods can be set to the same level with repeatable accuracy. The two #4/0 VMC Perma Steel treble hooks give solid hook-up rates on large species.
