Super User Darren. Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 Hey all, just picked this up tonight at the Hampton BPS. They were just about to start stocking them and I grabbed one off the cart per the fishing manager's recommendation. Picked the Blue back herring color. Anyone fished these yet? Any tips? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 The new Rogue that was introduced at the Classic is "The Perfect 10". I think the Pro Series was introduced several years ago. As I recall, the main feature was Gamakatsu Treble Hooks. What does the packaging highlight? Quote

I think the Pro Series was introduced several years ago. As I recall, the main feature was Gamakatsu Treble Hooks. What does the packaging highlight? Well, when I was looking at the Rogues hanging on the shelves, the manager (a friend) walked up, said he's got new ones just in. I assumed those were the Perfect 10's, but he said they weren't, they were Pro Rogues, suspending. Now I could have misunderstood what he meant by "new". They were only $4.99, so that left me wondering, too. We didn't have time to chat, so I didn't get to ask him further. Oh, and there's no highlights on the package, no word on hooks, etc. The back simply lists recommended ways to fish it. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 I could be wrong, but the Pro designation had to do with colors. The Limited has realistic scaling. The Perfect 10 is a new lure. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 I bought the 3 different ones they had at my local BP. Hoping to get to use them today. I had to add a snap ring to two of them, but the other suspended perfectly. And those d**n hooks are sharp!!!!! Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 I bought a Rogue last year or the year before which was a couple of bucks more expensive than the standard lure because of the Gamakatsu hooks. I will examine it more closely this evening, but I don't recall an other changes in design. Quote

gripnrip Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I doubt you'll find an Okie that doesn't have a few Rogues in their box. Dang good bait. Even the older ones are deadly! Quote

The Perfect 10 is a new lure. Unless I'm missing it, I can't find the "Rogue Pro" on lurenet, which smithwicklures.com directs you to. I was under the impression it was new as they weren't on the shelves yet at BPS. Quote
Super User MCS Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 I bought a Rogue last year or the year before which was a couple of bucks more expensive than the standard lure because of the Gamakatsu hooks. I will examine it more closely this evening, but I don't recall an other changes in design. The ones that are a couple bucks more were the suspending limited edition. It cames in some different "limited" colors as well as the hooks. My buddy got one in the sour grape. Quote

I was under the impression it was new as they weren't on the shelves yet at BPS. "New" as defined by a BPS employee, and "new" from the manu are often two entirely different things. I had an employee tell me about the "new" drop shot bait: Roboworms, lol. BPS also has a lot of exclusive baits and tackle. Quote
HookSetDon Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 If im not mistaken smitwick came out with a new rogue that has a tungesten ball in it for casting improvements Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 27, 2013 Super User Posted February 27, 2013 That's the Perfect 10. Quote

I should know better. Quote
