Features:

• The Rapala Countdown Elite CDE55 is a 2 1/4 inch slow-sinking crankbait. Runs optimally at about 3 to 4 feet deep.
• Baits made with the Rapala Countdown system slowly sink at a controlled rate of about 1 foot per second, so you can count each second as your bait sinks down to gauge the lure’s depth.
• As the Countdown Elite slowly sinks, it flutters, giving predatory gamefish the opportunity to hit your lure as it sinks into position.
• The Countdown Elite is a multi-species lure, at home catching Trout, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Pike and even big Crappie. Rugged through-wire construction and durable even when big fish hit it.
• The CDE55 is equipped with two #12 VMC hybrid treble hooks and heavy duty split rings. Available in lots of great colors.

The Rapala CountDown Elite harnesses over 80 years of lure making craftmanship into a premium balsa lure, featuring legendary controlled slow-sinking method of the original CountDown. Lead Free Tungsten Polymer weighting maximizes casting distance and accuracty. Forged, flattened, one piece through wire constructions improves durability. Premium high-def patterns with metallic gilded face, bringing the look to a totally new level.
