Perfect 10 Rogue...

[Hooligan]

Is an eleven! This bait is phenomenal at depth, and has the brilliant flash and roll that only a Rogue has. I fished it,and had a blast with fish in 10-15 feet of water. It casts superb, and gets to depth very quickly. The greatest key to this bait is that it performs well at a variety of speeds and cadences. When you're really slowing down and sweeping it, it darts very well, when you're speeding up, it is very erratic and darts wide. It is very stable in the water and suspends extremely well. I caught fish on the Blue back and Emerald, but Lady looks excellent in the water as well.

I'm very excited about this one because of how versatile it is in terms of jerkbaits, and also because it really digs deep in a hurry.

I've got a tourny coming up in a couple weeks on a lake where the big fish hang a little deeper and love to eat jerkbaits, sounds like I need to get a couple of these to toss at them then.

I'd love to try these. I think they'll be good for trout in the reserviors as well

I appreciate the report and plan to acquire several of them shortly!

I picked up a couple of these at my local Dick's. They feel like qualitylures. A bit bigger and heavier than expected. My guess is that they'll cast a mile with little effort. Hope to get to try them this weekend.

One thing that will help keep them from rolling and twirling on the cast is to either to side arm cast, or lightly thumb the reel down if it does start to roll in the air. I noticed that yesterday, and paid a lot closer attention to it. Both those things help to I crease distance.

Looks interesting, last thing I need are more jerkbaits, but this Rogue appears to occupy a niche that my other baits don't fill.

How was this bait out of the box. I usually have to tune in my other rogues.

I picked one of these up this week. First impression, it's huge! Not heavy, but a huge jerkbait at 5 1/2 inches, at least by my standards. It fishes very easy though, even though it gets down deep. We could not find a good jerkbait bite all week but I still managed to get one little spotted bass to smack it off the end of a deep water dock.

Got a 2 lb. Meanmouth on one yesterday on Table Rock.  I had to place a suspend strip on the belly to keep it from floating to the top.  I'm not crazy about the castability either, they cast OK, but not as well as some of my other jerkbaits.  But they do get down deep quickly and have good action.

Mine also floated slowly and was difficult to cast. I had to really loosen the reel up to be able to cast it.

Here's my pic of the Meanmouth, mainly I'm posting it to see if I successfully resized the pic, just got a new computer with Windows 8.

Hmmm,a bit small let's try again..

 

[Quillback]

One last try, reduced pixels but larger size.

 

 

[Quillback]

Hmmm, dunno why it's still so small, I'll have to play around some more to figure this out, I'm doing it as an attachment, maybe picture size is limited if you do it that way?

[Quillback]

OK, one last try

Now we're talking!

I have to admit I was a little bit of a skeptic on the Perfect 10 but I picked up a couple at BPS the other day.  I really liked the colors.  I took them out for a test drive and I was pleasantly surprised.  Both needed the line tie tweaked to keep the lure from running on one side but that's not really an issue, it takes 10 seconds to fix that.  Good hooks and hardware out of the box, suspends well (even on a snap with 17 pound fluoro for a leader) and fishes well both fast and snappy or slow.  I fish the HJ12 & HJ14 quite a bit and this thing is very similar other than running a touch deeper and an ever so slightly more aggressive action.  I'll continue to use the HJs and add the Perfect 10 into rotation.  It's priced right too.  Even this little Musky gave its approval.
