Smithwick Deep Suspending Rattlin' Rogue — 6" Chrome/Blue Back, Orange Belly

Overview

The Smithwick Deep Suspending Rattlin' Rogue in chrome/blue back with orange belly is built for cold-water fishing across a range of species. Its balanced profile mirrors a lifelike baitfish, delivering a steady glide during pauses and a vivid roll when you retrieve. The chrome finish and bold color pattern help attract attention in varying light and water conditions, making it a versatile option for anglers targeting bass, walleye, stripers, pike, trout, and select saltwater species.

Depth control and performance come together in a lure that cranks down to 10 feet and can be trolled down to 18 feet. The rattles provide audible cues that cut through water, while the rolling body adds visual appeal as it moves. During the retrieve, the lure suspends on a level plane during pauses, mimicking a baitfish lingering before resuming its glide.

Real-world use and setups

In cold water, this lure shines along weed edges, near structures, and over drop-offs where fish may linger. A steady retrieve reaches depth quickly, while pauses let the lure suspend and reappear with renewed motion.

• Start with a steady retrieve to reach the target depth, then pause to let the lure suspend
• Vary cadence and pause length to trigger the suspending action
• Adjust line tension and trolling speed to match water conditions and fish mood

Dimensions and construction are tailored for balance and casting distance: 6 inches long, 3/8 ounce, and a #4 hook size.
