Sinking at a consistent rate of one foot per second, the CountDown® allows you to easily target specific depths repeatedly.

Field Notes

Use when you need to put a bait at a specific depth and keep it there consistently. It works well for suspended fish, weed tops, and bottom-oriented fish, and can be cast or trolled with a steady retrieve.

Pros

  • Consistent sink rate helps target precise depths
  • Works for both casting and trolling
  • Weighted balsa body gives a natural slow-rolling action

Cons

  • Smaller profile may be less ideal for trophy-size musky
  • Single-depth presentation can be less versatile than a glide or topwater
