Rapala CountDown Elite Crankbait

The Rapala CountDown Elite Crankbait is the next generation of the Rapala CountDown Minnow with new sizes, a slightly different profile, and sharp HD print and metallic color patterns that are too good to pass! Keeping the legendary controlled sink rate and flutter on the drop of the original CountDown, the Elite is a premium balsa lure in 2 1/4 and 3-inch lengths. Slimmer and with a higher profile (good for jerk techniques and standard retrieves), the Rapala Elite CountDown combines metallic plating HD Printing and new designs for greater levels of realistic detail.

The CountDown Elite harnesses over 80 years of lure-making craftmanship. This small long-casting trout lure in the longer size is primarily for big lakes and larger rivers, while the shorter model works better in smaller streams or when rivers run low. Fishing in the fast water upstream delivers results, but also try them downstream with the current, a method that can entice large trout. In slightly calmer river water behind obstacles that slow water flow, jerk the Elite CountDown Rapala or sink it to the desired depth, fishing it in many different ways. Both sizes catch big fish! The Elite is built with modern construction for maximum casting distance and accuracy, improved durability, and versatility. Now is the time to update tired and worn crankbaits – the look of the Rapala Elite CountDown sinking lure is on a totally new level!
