Rapala Countdown Magnum 22 - 9-Inch Green Mackerel Lure | CDMAG22GM

Designed for big-water anglers, the Rapala Countdown Magnum 22 in Green Mackerel blends classic lure craft with rugged saltwater durability. This 9-inch model is built to endure the rigors of ocean fishing while offering reliable depth control that helps you target the water column where sportfish feed.

Controlled-depth action for consistent retrieves

The Countdown Magnum 22 features a deliberate slow-sinking profile that lets you dial in depth with precision. A steady, measured retrieve helps keep the lure in the strike zone longer, improving chances to trigger bites. Its balance supports a smooth descent and predictable tracking that many anglers trust when scanning structure, wrecks, or drop-offs.

• Slow-sinking, controlled-depth action for predictable hang-time at target depths.
• Long-range casting and steady tracking in open-water and near structure.
• Green Mackerel color provides natural appeal under varied light conditions.

Durability and craft that stand up to saltwater use

Rapala builds the CDMAG22GM with longevity in mind. Seven coats of paint help preserve color under sun and spray, while PermaSteel hooks and fittings resist corrosion. A securely attached lip is designed to shrug off oyster shells and coral contact. Every lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure consistent performance straight from the box.

• Seven-coat finish enhances durability and color retention.
• PermaSteel hardware minimizes saltwater corrosion and wear.
• Rugged, rust-resistant fittings extend life in harsh environments.
• Secure lip design reduces impact damage on rocky or reef edges.
• Hand-tuned and tank-tested for reliable action and depth control.

Real-world use cases and benefits you might notice

Use the 9-inch CDMAG22GM when you’re fishing around structure, reefs, wrecks, or drop-offs. The slow descent helps you hold near the mid to lower water column, while the Green Mackerel's lifelike silhouette and flash can catch the eye of wary predators. The lure’s size gives it visibility without compromising manageability on longer casts, making it a versatile option for boats and open-water scenarios.

Always consider weather, tide, and target species when deciding depth and retrieve pace. The Countdown Magnum 22 opens up possibilities for varied presentations and can be paired with different line setups to suit your fishing environment.
