Overview

Harnessing over 80 years of lure making craftsmanship into a premium balsa lure, the Rapala Countdown Elite is a refined version of the original Countdown and proven fish-catcher for decades. Made from the highest-quality balsa wood, the Rapala Countdown Elite features a lead-free tungsten polymer weighting system to increase casting distance and accuracy over the original Countdown. Internally, it also features a forged, flattened, one-piece through wire construction that improves durability and ensures you won’t lose the fish of a lifetime.

Incredibly versatile, the Rapala Countdown Elite produces an enticing flutter on the drop and can be easily counted down at one-foot/per second to the desired fishing depth. With a steady wind it will swim with a slow rolling action that entices strikes and it can also be twitched erratically to mimic a wounded baitfish. Armed with VMC black nickel treble hooks and heavy duty split rings to ensure unmatched hook-up ratios, the Rapala Countdown Elite is available in premium high-definition colors that feature a metallic gilded face that brings the presentation to a whole new level.

Comments: Tacklewarehouse doesn't carry the black back/gilded solid side color but I picked up this lure from a local store in the larger size in that colorway and absolutely layed waste to about 30 smallmouth, and handful of pike and a probably 40+ walleye on the Mississippi River here in central Minnesota. I would fire it out and count to 3 or 5 seconds for it to sink into the desired depth and then reel AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE while the current would so half the work and they fish couldn't get enough. These lures have a super nice shimmy and roll while sinking and retrieving and they'll demand a strike even when you're not really doing anything. I also grabbed the gilded iwana color for use in an extremely clear body of water that stocks juvenile rainbow and brown trout. Will probably smack fish also. Amazing finish, super sticky and strong hooks, casts like a bullet on a med-light spinning rod. I have nothing but positive things to sag about this bait. I'm plann ing on grabbing the clown color for walleye but the black back/gold side is so money I have no reason to swap baits.
