Description

The Rapala CountDown Elite CDE35 is a 3.5cm, 4g balsa sinking minnow that runs to around 0.9m and is rigged with two size 16 hooks. It uses a high-strength stainless steel through-wire plate and an environmentally friendly tungsten core weight for a low centre of gravity and improved casting distance over earlier CountDown models.

Its flat-sided body and dimpled lip bite the water well, giving a sharp dart on the twitch and a stable swimming action even in faster currents without blowing out at the surface. Supplied here in Gilded finishes across fourteen colourways.

Information

The swimming action

A flat-sided body and dimpled lip give the Elite a sharp dart on the twitch and a stable, tight swim that holds together in faster current, helped by a tungsten core weight and a lower centre of gravity than the standard CountDown.

When to throw it

Suited to trout fishing wherever a durable, hard-jerking small minnow is needed, including faster water where lesser sinking minnows lose their action.

How to work it

Fish it with a steady retrieve for a tight swim, or add sharp twitches for a hard side-to-side dart; the through-body wire and tungsten weighting hold up well to repeated aggressive jerking.

The setup it likes

A light spinning rod (L, 6'6"–7ft) with a 2000 reel, 4–6lb line and a light fluorocarbon leader.
