Description

The Smithwick Floating Rattlin’ Rogue is the jerk bait that started all jerk baits! This legendary minnow plug has been catching giant bass for several decades and isn’t stopping anytime soon thanks to its patented Rogue roll action thanks to its specific bill that flexes just enough for the right displacement. The Floating Rogue is perfect for coaxing bass out of shallow water during the spawn or anytime bass are favoring shallow cover. Lightly twitch it on top or pull it down a few cranks and work it like a traditional jerk bait for serious results!
