Comfortably Numb Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Looks like some places have them already. http://www.*/store/pc/Smithwick-Perfect-10-Rogue-c7079.htm#.UUJSsYy9KSM Not impressed with the color choices and goes too deep (10') for my liking Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 I like the fact that it goes 10 ft. but I have enough cranks I am in love with soft plastic! Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted March 15, 2013 Super User Posted March 15, 2013 Seriously? Don't like the color choices? Those are absolutely incredible color patterns for clear water, which is where this bait will excel. Don't need a 10' jerkbait with the roll of a Rogue?! You don't fish jerkbaits, do you? 2 Quote
MSAJAA Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I hope to get my hands on a couple of these soon! Emerald shiner should be the "ticket" for prespawn smallmouth on Erie this spring Quote

You don't fish jerkbaits, do you?It's a head scratcher, unless he primarily fishes shallow, off color lakes. Previously, you had to weight the heck out of the bait, and it actually sank to get it down that far. And the Deep Rogue didn't have the same roll, though it's still a good bait. So, you didn't have a ton of time in the zone. The 10 fixes that. Quote
TNBassin' Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I was looking forward to these, but my lake is just too murky to effectively use the ones I have. May snag one before I go to Dale Hollow though. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 You are right. In the right situation they should work well. In my lakes a 4-6' depth is prefered. Even my Staysee goes a little deep and grabs those gunk weeds/algae. Quote
Stingray23 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Cant wait to get these. These will be perfect in the reservoirs by me. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 16, 2013 Super User Posted March 16, 2013 The Emerald Shiner pattern is going to get straight up bit on my home lake. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 16, 2013 Global Moderator Posted March 16, 2013 I really like that Lemon-lime color, I can see some smallies crushing that thing. Juice looks really good too. It will be nice to have a bigger jerkbait that gets down deeper without having a large bill on it. 1 Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted March 16, 2013 Super User Posted March 16, 2013 Looks to me the Lemon-Lime is made for the Tennessee River! Quote
Bass Junkie Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Comfortably Numb- Don't let them get to you too much. I was anticipating this bait myself, but the colors are underwhelming, at least in my humble opinion. Quote
jig Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 i love rogues, but wheres the perch color ? really ? Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 17, 2013 Super User Posted March 17, 2013 I really need to pick a few up myself, right now I have some older Super Rogues and Super Rogue Jr.s that go to 6', around 5' or 5.5' on 12lb line and last week it was doing really well for me in the clown pattern but the fact that this bait will suspend at 10' is really going to change the game. I agree if you have murky water with less than 2' of visibility then jerkbaits in general aren't going to be great but if you have clear enough water this Rogue will let you get in on a jerkbait bite earlier than most as you will be able to get the bait down to the fish without having to wait until the fish move up.

Super User Hooligan Posted March 18, 2013 Super User Posted March 18, 2013 Lady, Emerald Shiner, and Blue Back are the three colors that are on my top picks. The Ayu looks really well done as well. Quote
Primus Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I just picked up 3 this past weekend and personally I like the colors, good looking bait. Regarding the depth it's important to look at jerkbaits as tools and no one tool is ideal for every job. The deep depth appeals to me because I already have other great options to use when I need a bait that runs shallower. I am personally excited to add this bait to my line-up. I do agree with jig that they need to add a Perch color for us northern fisherman. Quote
