Quick take
A one-inch suspending jerkbait that pauses at depth and stays there, counting down on the cast.
The Rapala Countdown 01 is a 1-inch sinking minnow bait in a Rainbow Trout finish, weighing about 1/16 oz. It falls at a steady pace, so you can count it down to the zone where fish are holding and work it through the shallow 1 to 3 foot range. Its small size suits trout and panfish on light spinning gear.
Best for
- Trout and small panfish in clear water
- Fishing suspended fish at specific depths
- Anglers who want a lure that tracks level without rising
Skip if
- You need a fast-sinking or floating lure
- You fish heavy cover where snags matter
Strengths
- Counting down to depth makes it easy to target specific depths
- Suspended design lets the lure hang there between jerks
- Spear-point hooks set quickly
Trade-offs
- At one inch, the lure is small; it hooks only small fish
- The suspension design means depth varies by casting distance
- Requires active jerking to trigger bites

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
