Rapala Countdown Elite 35 Lures
The Rapala Countdown Elite 35 is the smallest in the Elite range, offering a finesse-focused option for light predator fishing where subtle presentation and precision are key. Perfect for targeting perch, trout, chub, and other small predators, this compact lure is ideal for clear water and pressured venues.
Built from premium balsa wood, the Countdown Elite 35 retains the legendary slow-sinking action of the original CountDown series, allowing you to accurately control your depth by counting the lure down. This makes it highly effective for working specific layers of the water column where smaller predators are feeding.
Despite its compact size, the modernised design ensures excellent casting performance, allowing you to reach tight spots and cover water efficiently. On the drop, the lure produces a delicate fluttering action that mimics a struggling baitfish, often triggering takes before the retrieve begins.
The finish combines metallic plating, HD printing, and detailed patterns to create a highly realistic appearance with subtle flash—perfect for fooling wary fish in clear conditions.
Constructed with a durable wire-through body and fitted with heavy-duty split rings, the Countdown Elite 35 is built to handle repeated use. It comes equipped with sharp VMC 7554 black nickel hooks, ensuring reliable hook-ups when it matters most.
At 4.5cm and 3.5g, this lure is perfectly suited to ultralight and finesse predator fishing, offering excellent control, realism, and consistent performance.
