Key Features

• Consistent Depth Control: Sinks at a uniform rate so you can count it down and repeatedly target fish holding at a specific depth.
• Erratic X-Rap Action: Strong rolling action on the retrieve and fluttering action on the pause help trigger reaction strikes.
• Premium Hardware: Finished with 3D holographic eyes and fitted with black nickel VMC hooks for reliable hooksets and durability.

Whether you are casting shorelines, probing breaklines, or trolling for walleye, trout, and other predator species, the Rapala X-Rap CountDown gives you excellent control over presentation depth. Flat sides create a hard flash, while the hand-tuned and tank-tested design helps each bait run true right out of the package. Rapala anglers choose this lure when standard floating or shallow-running baits cannot stay in the strike zone long enough.

This 07-size version is approximately 2 3/4 inches long, weighs 3/8 oz, and is commonly fished in the 3 to 5 ft range on a standard retrieve. The Rapala X-Rap CountDown is a dependable option for casting and trolling when you need a compact sinking minnow bait with consistent performance.
