Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the body of this sinking lure features a bold black back that transitions into gold-scaled sides. A clear, angled diving lip allows the bait to reach depths between 7 and 10 ft (2.1 - 3.0 m) for effective presentation. This Finnish-crafted Rapala Countdown, identified by product code 1234, carries a distinct yellow eye with a dark pupil and a subtle hint of red on the nose. At a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), the specimen is in excellent shape, rated 5/5. Two bronzed treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail, making it a reliable choice for targeting predators like zander, pike, or salmon. It is designed for both casting and trolling applications where maintaining a specific depth is essential.
