Description

The Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue is the jerkbait all other slender minnow lures look up to. It features a standard minnow shape, 3 treble hooks, and a unique glued in bill that flexes just enough to allow the Rogue to dance lightly. This signature Rogue roll is great for cold water winter bass, which prefer the subtle action over a more aggressive style. For more than 30 years the Rogue has been the go-to lure for early spring bass, and for trolling up trophy walleyes any time of year.

This suspending jerkbait is built for a subtle minnow presentation in cold water, especially when fish want a less aggressive action. It can be worked with pauses and light twitches, or trolled for trophy walleyes any time of year.

Pros

  • Suspending profile stays in the strike zone on pauses
  • Subtle Rogue roll is effective in cold water
  • Versatile for casting or trolling

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish want a fast, aggressive retrieve
  • Treble-hook hard bait can be snag-prone around cover
