Rogue Roll action

The Rogue Roll is the lure’s signature trait. As it swims, it rolls from side to side, creating a bright, fishlike flash that can draw strikes from wary fish even at a distance. The motion complements both fast and slow retrieves, making it adaptable to changing conditions.

Clear water performance

New translucent color patterns are designed to maximize visibility in clear water while maintaining a natural look. As the lure darts and rolls, the light interaction enhances its presence in bright conditions, helping it register in the strike zone without appearing artificial.

• Translucent colors for enhanced visibility in clear water
• Light, lifelike finish that works across conditions

Versatility across techniques and waters

The Perfect 10 Rogue-Staple shines in both casting and twitching setups and as a trolling lure. It has earned a solid reputation among anglers targeting walleyes in the Great Lakes and other northern waters, where depth and action matter for enticing strikes.

Tips for best results

Start with a moderate cadence, then add short twitches followed by a slight pause to explore depth. When trolling, vary your speed to keep the lure within its effective depth window and watch for the lure's distinctive roll as it moves.

Practical setup notes

Pair with a versatile rod and line selection suitable for mid depth presentation. A light fluorocarbon leader can help preserve action and color while maintaining sensitivity to bites.
