Smithwick Lures Perfect 10 Rogue Fishing Lure

The Perfect 10 Rogue jerkbait by Smithwick Lures is a big jerkbait that gets deep fast and features a single tungsten rattle that calls fish from long distances. Bass and walleye anglers have long trusted the original Smithwick Rogue, and the Perfect 10 retains all of the fish-catching characteristics of that older brother, such as an erratic darting action and the "Rogue Roll," in which the bait rolls or wobbles to produce more baitfish-like flashes of light, a signal for predator fish to strike.

The Smithwick Perfect 10 quickly dives to 10-feet deep and suspends on the pause, but it's the new paint jobs that get the most attention. The Perfect 10 jerkbaits are available in traditional Rogue colors as well as almost-translucent color patterns that are more effective in clear water. For sound, the Perfect 10 uses a big, single tungsten rattle in an internal casting chamber that prompts long casts and produces a loud "thunk" that calls fish in from a distance.

The Perfect 10 Rogue is popular with bass anglers during cold-water periods. By fishing the bait with a "twitch-twitch-pause" cadence, the Perfect 10 gets the fish's attention with sound and flash, then pauses right in front of the fish to draw the strike. Walleye anglers also know the power of a Perfect 10. Whether trolled on the big waters of the Great Lakes or other walleye haunts, or casted and retrieved on rivers across the country, the Perfect 10 produces fish.
