Rapala Countdown Lure with Two No. 5 Hooks, 9 cm, 2.1–3 m Depth, Live Brown Trout

Meet the Rapala Countdown Live Brown Trout CountDown Lure, a purpose-built tool for depth-specific fishing. Engineered to help you reach suspended schools, fish near weed lines, or those gliding along bottom structure, this weighted balsa lure supports repeatable depth performance and a distinctive slow-rolling action that mimics a real prey presentation. The Live Brown Trout palette adds a natural, reflective finish that can catch light differently as water moves around the lure.

Whether you prefer casting or trolling, the Countdown helps you navigate depth with confidence. The lures are outfitted with two No. 5 hooks in a durable VMC black nickel finish, ready to hold up across a day on the water. Each unit is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim with that reliable slow-rolling action right out of the box, reducing guesswork as you move through different water layers.

Key features that support reliable depth control

• Allows you to easily target specific depths repeatedly
• Weighted design creates a slow-rolling, attention-getting action
• VMC black nickel round-bend hooks for solid hookups

In real-world water, the lure’s pattern of movement can help trigger bites without overwhelming the senses of wary fish. The Live Brown Trout colorway provides a natural, reflective pattern that can blend with many forage environments, enhancing visibility while you search for depth and position.
