Rapala CountDown Lure Size 11 – 9'-13' Depth, Silver Fathead Minnow

Meet the Rapala CountDown Lure — Size 11

The Rapala CountDown Lure in Size 11 is engineered to reach exact depths with a steady, repeatable cadence. Sinking at a consistent rate of one foot per second, it helps you target 9 to 13 feet of water, whether you’re casting toward weed edges or trolling along a drop-off. The Silver Fathead Minnow color pattern catches the light as the lure cruises, creating a lifelike silhouette that mimics a wounded baitfish. A balsa body delivers a natural feel and a slow-rolling swimming action, while two VMC black nickel hooks provide reliable performance. Each unit is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim true straight from the box.

Depth Control and Versatility

Controlled depth sinking lets you hold the lure at your chosen level and adjust your presentation on the fly. Use the CountDown to reach suspended fish, leverage weedlines, or probe bottom structure. It performs well in both casting and trolling setups, making it a flexible choice for varied freshwater scenarios.

• Sinking rate of about 1 ft per second enables precise depth control
• Running depth ranges from 9' to 13' for mid-water to bottom targets
• Two No.3 treble hooks with a VMC black nickel finish for dependable hookups

Real-Life Uses

Imagine casting toward a weed edge as the sun glints off the water, then counting down the lure to a 10–12 foot zone and slow-rolling it back. Or line it up behind a boat to sweep along drop-offs where fish often suspend. The CountDown’s medium-large profile and balanced weight deliver a deliberate, lifelike motion that can entice strikes from a range of freshwater species.

• Ideal for casting and trolling in lakes and reservoirs
• Slow-rolling action mimics a wounded baitfish for natural attraction
• 4-3/8" body length with 9/16 oz weight keeps the lure maneuverable in currents

The durable balsa construction, paired with a timeless silhouette and reliable hardware, is built to endure repeated fishing trips.
