Description

The Rapala CountDown Abachi CDA5 re-tunes the classic CountDown for Japanese-style fishing, using a high-density abachi wood body and a dedicated weighting material in place of the standard balsa build. It measures 5cm (50mm) and weighs 6g.

The denser construction gives roughly 20% more casting distance than a standard CountDown, so you can search different depths faster, and it holds its posture well in faster currents — making it a good choice for down-and-cross presentations.

Information

The swimming action

Built on a dense abachi wood body rather than balsa, the CountDown Abachi holds a stable, tight wobble at speed and casts noticeably further than a standard balsa CountDown of the same length.

When to throw it

Suited to seabass fishing in current — river mouths, harbour walls and structure — where extra casting distance helps reach fish holding further out or across strong flow.

How to work it

Best fished down-and-across the current on a steady retrieve, letting the denser body hold its swimming posture through faster water than a lighter balsa minnow would manage.

The setup it likes

A light seabass spinning rod (L–ML, 7–8ft) with a 2500 reel, 6–10lb braid and a 12–16lb fluorocarbon leader suits this size.
