Quick take
A 5 in suspending jerkbait that runs true on cast or troll and dives 6-10 feet when worked with a twitch-pause retrieve.
The Chrome/Black Back/Orange Belly Suspending Super Rogue is a 5-inch jerkbait that holds its depth when paused. It dives 6 to 7 feet on the cast and is built for bass, walleye, striped bass and trout. Its weight system moves toward the tail for longer casts and forward on the retrieve to produce the rattle.
Best for
- Bass fishing in spring when feeding on shad
- Walleye on troll or twitch presentations
- Striper and trout that feed on baitfish
Skip if
- You fish in heavy weeds where jerkbaits snag
- You want a lure that stays near the surface
Strengths
- Counter-balance weight system stays behind the lure for long, accurate casts
- Suspension means it pauses at the strike zone between twitches
- Runs true whether cast or trolled
- Works year-round on bass and walleye when they feed on shad-sized prey
Trade-offs
- Treble hooks snag easily in weeds and wood
- Requires active twitching to be effective
- Large size suits only medium to large fish

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.
