Rapala CountDown 5g is a 5cm Balsa sinking hard lure. Rapala CountDown lures consistently reach suspended fish at any depth with the CountDown. Whether the fish are suspending at certain depths, at the weed tops or on bottom structure, the CountDown can get you to them consistently. Weighted lure creates slow-rolling Rapala action.

The Countdown method of fishing first introduced by this lure has become a standard presentation adopted by many anglers. The countdown has proven itself especially effective for salmon, large trout, zander and perch.

The slow sinking, control-depth method enables you to put this lure exactly in the feeding zone of suspended fish or just above weed tops or bottom structures for deeper feeders. Of course the balanced action can be trolled or cast and retrieved in the usual manner.
