Designed to reach specific depths between 9 and 13 ft (2.7 – 3.9 m), the sinking balsa construction of the Rapala Countdown S11 is intended for precision depth control. This 4 1/4" (11 cm) Finnish specimen, carrying product code 16850, features a gold-foil body with a black back and white belly. The transparent lip is clearly stamped with the maker's mark, and the bronze treble hooks show no signs of heavy use. Weighing 3/5 oz (16 g), the lure retains its original hardware and split rings. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the painted yellow eyes and red chin detailing remaining crisp and well-defined.
