Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Countdown CD7, 1/4oz S (silver) fishing lure #21483

At 1/4 oz (8 g), this Finnish-made sinking minnow provides the control needed to reach depths between 5 - 8 ft (1.5 - 2.4 m). The 2 3/4" (7 cm) body of the Rapala Countdown CD7, identified by product code 21483, carries the timeless S (silver) finish with a finely textured scale pattern and a dark, shaded back. A splash of red under the lip provides a classic visual accent for fish like zander, perch, and pike. Built with high-grade balsa in Finland, the lure is outfitted with two sharp treble hooks and a clear diving lip. This specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, with the foil finish and hardware remaining clean and bright. Its sinking properties make it an effective choice for both casting and trolling when targeting specific water columns.
