Rapala Count Down Elite Minnow Lure – Controlled Depth Sinking for Trout, Bass & Walleye

Targeted depth, lifelike action

The Rapala Count Down Elite Minnow Lure is designed to help you dial in depth with a controlled sinking action. By counting to estimate depth, you can target specific zones where trout, bass, or walleye are likely to linger without guessing where your lure will settle.

Natural Minnow Profile: Realistic baitfish shape and a convincing swimming action create an inviting silhouette in clear water. The gilded rainbow trout color adds reflective accents that mimic a wounded baitfish moving through the water on the drop or during a slow retrieve.

Versatility at a glance

• Depth precision: Count down design supports deliberate sinking, so you can experiment with casts, trolling passes, or river retrieves.
• Multi-species appeal: Suitable for trout, bass, and walleye across lakes, streams, and reservoirs.
• Consistent presentation: The classic minnow profile holds up across water conditions, water clarity, and cover.

Real-life scenarios you might try: Cast and then count down as the lure sinks to a chosen depth, allowing a steady or varied retrieve to keep the minnow profile near likely holding water. In a river drift, try a slow, controlled pull that keeps the lure moving through seams, eddies, and current edges. Trolling a shallow or mid-depth pass can help you maintain contact with structure and cover while monitoring depth with the count.

Quality and reliability matter, and this lure’s tungsten core weights are designed for a dense feel and short setup time on the water. The gilded rainbow trout finish offers a bright, reflective look that can catch the eye of curious fish in clear or stained water. While results vary, many anglers report steady bite opportunities across multiple species with this type of minnow presentation.
