Quick take

A 5.5 in deep-diving jerkbait with internal tungsten ball that dives over 10 feet with erratic rogue roll action.

This 5.5-inch Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue in Chrome, Blue Back and Orange Belly weighs 5/8 ounce and suspends in the water. Twitched, it dives to about 12 feet and rolls from side to side. Its tungsten weights add a low thump and casting distance for bass.

Best for

  • Deep-water bass in clear lakes
  • Cold or lethargic fish that respond to erratic action
  • Fishing semi-transparent colors in clear water

Skip if

  • You fish shallow water under 10 feet
  • You need a topwater or shallow-running lure

Strengths

  • Dives over 10 feet deep with innovative bill design
  • Internal tungsten ball creates distinctive thump and longer casts
  • Semi-transparent colors with flash yet look lifelike up close

Trade-offs

  • Deep-diving design limits shallow-water use
  • Jerkbaits require active jerking technique, not steady retrieve
  • Erratic action makes them less forgiving for tired anglers

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
