Description

The Rapala CountDown Lipless CDL7 is a balsa-bodied sinking minnow measuring 7cm (70mm) and weighing 8g. Unlike Rapala's standard lipped CountDown, the CDL7 does away with the diving lip entirely, giving the bait a wobbling, shimmying action as it falls through the water column.

Retrieve it on a straight, steady wind or work it with light twitches — either approach draws strikes without spooking wary fish. Its sinking balsa construction also makes it a natural rotation partner with the standard CountDown for covering different depths on the same session.

Information

The swimming action

With no lip to bite the water, the CDL shimmies on the fall as well as on the retrieve, giving a wobbling, shaking action distinct from the standard lipped CountDown.

When to throw it

A useful rotation partner to the standard CountDown for seabass that have grown wary of the lipped version, fished at any depth in the water column.

How to work it

Works equally well on a steady straight retrieve or with light twitches; there is no fixed running depth, so let it sink to the zone you want before starting the retrieve.

The setup it likes

A medium-light spinning rod (ML, 7–7.6ft) with a 2500 reel, 8lb braid and a 12–14lb fluorocarbon leader.
