If you mean a Rogue-style clear-water jerkbait, these are the strongest matches. Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue-Clear is the classic deeper Rogue option for bass or walleyes when fish are holding down and want a slender minnow profile. Smithwick Elite 8 Rogue is a good choice when fish are a little shallower or you want a suspending bait with a clear-water-friendly translucent option. The two DJs CUSTOMEYES LURES baits, DJs CUSTOMEYES LURES BIG CHILL P-10 and DJs CUSTOMEYES LURES CHROME MARVIN P10, are deeper suspending jerkbaits for bass around baitfish and mid-depth structure.
Use sharp twitches with pauses. For Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue-Clear and the P-10 style baits, work them around points, drops, and suspended fish near 10 feet or deeper. For Smithwick Elite 8 Rogue, a pause-and-twitch retrieve is the key, especially in clear to stained water. If fish are following but not committing, lengthen the pause.
Switch to a different presentation if fish are tight to cover, want a slower fall, or are not reacting to jerkbait flash and darting action. If the water is very dirty or fish are buried deep in cover, a jig, soft plastic, or crankbait may be a better call. If they want a shallower bait, step down from the P-10 style lures to the Smithwick Elite 8 Rogue.
