Rapala X-Rap CountDown Lures
The Rapala X-Rap CountDown is a modern evolution of the classic CountDown method, designed for precise depth control and consistent performance in predator fishing. Ideal for targeting perch, trout, chub, and smaller pike, this lure allows you to work the water column with accuracy and confidence.
Built to sink faster than the original CountDown models, the X-Rap CountDown reaches the desired depth quickly and stays in the strike zone longer. This makes it perfect for covering different depths efficiently, whether you’re fishing rivers, canals, or stillwaters.
On the retrieve, the lure produces a strong rolling action that creates flash and vibration, helping to attract predator fish from a distance. When paused, it delivers a fluttering drop that mimics a wounded baitfish, often triggering strikes as it falls.
Thanks to its weighted body and aerodynamic design, the X-Rap CountDown also offers excellent casting distance, allowing you to reach far-off areas and cover more water with ease.
Finished in modern X-Rap patterns with detailed 3D holographic eyes, the lure provides a highly realistic appearance in the water. Each lure is hand tuned and tank tested to ensure consistent action, and fitted with sharp VMC black nickel hooks for reliable hook-ups.
At 5cm and 4g, the Rapala X-Rap CountDown is a versatile option for light predator fishing, combining precision, realism, and performance in one compact lure.
