Museum Archive: Rapala Countdown S5, 3/16oz S (Silver) fishing lure #14099

Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (5 g), this 2" (5 cm) sinking lure is finished in the timeless Silver (S) colorway. Reaching depths between 3' - 6' (0.9 - 1.8 m), it allows for precise targeting of specific zones in the water column using the countdown method. This specimen is unused, remaining in its original packaging which shows the assembly origin in Estonia. Bearing the product code 14099, the lure is a CD05 S model, a size often selected for species like trout, perch, and zander. The balsa wood body is weighted to sink at a consistent rate of approximately one foot per second, a technical trait indicated on the box. Its Silver finish features a dark spine and scale-textured sides over a white belly, paired with two treble hooks and the iconic clear diving lip.
