• Unique counter-balance weighting system shifts toward the rear for longer, more precise casts.
• Exclusive realistic scale pattern with red 3-D eyes enhances visibility and lure presence in stained water.
• Designed to suspend right out of the package, combining a lifelike profile with controlled depth.
• 5 inches long, 3/8 ounce, armed with #6 treble hooks for solid strikes and reliable hookups.

In the Water: Real-World Use

When bass patrol areas with big shad, this lure delivers a convincing, wounded-bait presentation through a classic cast-crank-twitch pattern. The slow, twitch-twitch-pause retrieve mimics a fleeing baitfish and invites adherent bites from a range of predators. On a trolling pass, the Suspending Super Rogue maintains depth more consistently, making it a versatile option for resident walleye or migrating stripers.

Species & Season Versatility

Although described for a broad angling range, you’ll notice its strengths in several scenarios. It’s a springtime go-to for bass and a strong choice when trolling for walleye. Its color combination—Chrome/Black Back with an Orange Belly—helps with visibility and silhouette in varied water clarity, while the lifelike pattern supports a natural lure presence in multiple light conditions.

How to Fish It

• Cast, crank down, then twitch-twitch-pause to trigger reaction strikes.
• Use steady retrieves or brief pauses to maintain the lure in the target depth band (6–10 ft depending on setup).
• Match water conditions and light to maximize the realistic scale pattern and red eyes’ visibility.
