The 2.2 inch body and 5 gram weight deliver a crisp, responsive wobble that you can feel in the rod tip as soon as it sinks into the strike zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Countdown Elite Yamame packs several performance-first refinements. Tungsten core weights give a dense, compact profile, helping the lure sink steadily without requiring a bulkier body. A through-wire system reinforced by a stamped stainless steel plate adds strength and helps keep the lure balanced at depth, reducing wobble when you pull line or make quick retrieves. The result is a lure that can stay in the target depth longer and resist tipping in current, all while maintaining a natural minnow profile that triggers curious bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotable benefits in the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance and control: about 20 percent more casting distance than CD models, widening your search area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth accuracy: tungsten weights enable precise depth performance in variable currents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability: low center of gravity from the through-wire construction reduces wobble during retrieve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal fall drift: designed to drift in a horizontal fall position, improving subtle presentations in rivers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this lure excels in river and stream fishing where depth control and a smaller target are key. The 2.2 inch length fits well in tight pockets along banks, while the 5 gram weight lets you reach mid water columns on calm days or in light current. The finish and balance are designed to read the water well, producing a natural swim that invites a curious bite from Yamame and similar species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-world use and retrieval ideas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast upstream or across the current, count down to the desired depth, then retrieve with a steady, intermittent pull to invite a hold or a subtle strike. If the water is murky or the current strong, consider a slightly longer countdown and a slower, controlled reel to maintain depth and line tension. The through-wire construction helps you pull with confidence when you need to work the lure aggressively in broken water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody length: 2.2 inches (5.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.2 oz (5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTungsten core weights for density and depth control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-wire system with stainless steel plate for strength and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is the Rapala CDE55 Countdown Elite Yamame best used for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Best for freshwater river fishing, offering precise depth control and a compact profile to target Yamame and similar species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What makes its construction unique?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Through-wire design with a stainless steel plate provides strength and balance, while tungsten weights enable a dense, compact body for depth control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rapala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42316609290320,"sku":"B08S6T27K5","price":82.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9645\/8576\/files\/rapala-cde55-countdown-elite-yamame.jpg?v=1777375332","url":"https:\/\/canadawildco.com\/products\/rapala-cde55-countdown-elite-yamame-precision-tungsten-countdown-lure","provider":"Canada WildCo. | Hunting Gear, Fishing Equipment \u0026 Outdoor Essentials for the Canadian Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
