The Rapala Countdown sinks about a foot a minute and that makes it perfect to fish at any depth, no changing lure, just one lure that works as both- a shallow and deep diver! It's the best lure to start fishing with to know which depth the fish are feeding at, especially when fish are sitting in the mid-water column depth, a couple of casts and letting the Rapala Countdown sink to the right level lets you find the feeding depth of the fish. It tends to sink at about 1 foot per sec ... so 4 secs and ur lure will be swimming at 4 feet!
The Rapala Countdown must-have in your tackle box! and don't forget to give the lure a good twitch from time to time as you retrieve it!
