Short overview

The Rapala Countdown CD01 Single Hook is a small sinking balsa lure designed for precise fishing for trout, chub, and other predators in smaller waters. Thanks to its controlled sink rate and single barbless hooks, it is an excellent choice for an ultra-light approach, trout area fishing, and fishing under C&R rules.

Description

This model brings the recognizable Rapala Countdown action in a compact design with a length of 25 mm and a weight of 2,7 g. The lure sinks at a controlled rate, allowing the angler to precisely determine the water layer in which they want to present it by counting it down. The balsa body provides lively and natural action, while the single hook configuration is suitable for waters where barbless hooks are preferred or required. It is excellent for light spinning in streams, rivers, lakes, and calmer sections of flowing waters.
