Rapala Countdown Magnum Elite 185mm Hard Body Lure

The Rapala Countdown Magnum Elite 185mm builds upon the legendary durability and world-record producing Rapala Wounded Minnow action that has made Magnum lures the number one saltwater hardbody according to IGFA records. Constructed from tough Abachi wood with modern heavy-duty engineering, this lure is specifically designed to handle the most powerful pelagic predators including tuna, wahoo, mackerel, sailfish and other bluewater gamefish. The Countdown Magnum Elite features premium Armoured finishes that withstand the harsh saltwater environment and resist damage from toothy species, whilst the stainless steel lip provides exceptional durability compared to traditional plastic lip designs. The lure comes factory-rigged with premium VMC 3X treble hooks featuring tin coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and superior penetration, ensuring solid hook-ups and reliable performance in demanding offshore conditions. Capable of being trolled at speeds up to 10 knots, the Countdown Magnum Elite maintains the classic Rapala swimming action that has accounted for more IGFA world records than any other hardbody lure, with the wounded minnow wobble triggering strikes from even the wariest gamefish. The sinking design allows the lure to reach productive depth zones quickly, whilst the heavy-duty through-wire construction and welded line tie ensure structural integrity during extended battles with trophy fish. The 185mm profile provides substantial visual appeal to large predators whilst accurately imitating the baitfish species found throughout Australian offshore waters. Designed and tested for extreme saltwater applications, this lure represents the pinnacle of Rapala's commitment to building tournament-grade lures that deliver consistent performance when targeting Australia's most challenging pelagic species including marlin, tuna, wahoo, Spanish mackerel and longtail tuna.
