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 Tiger Roan Suspending Super Rogue is a 5-inch jerkbait with a molded lip that does not flex and a raised checkered body. It suspends when paused and dives 6 to 7 feet on the cast, which suits a twitch-and-pause retrieve for bass, walleye, striped bass and trout. A ball-bearing weight system moves the rattle toward the tail on the cast and forward on the retrieve.
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.
