Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue 5.5" Chrome Blue/Orange Belly

The Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue is a 5.5-inch jerkbait built for anglers who want a proven hard bait that delivers both action and results. This chrome blue and orange belly model combines the signature "Rogue Roll"—a distinctive side-to-side rolling motion that mimics wounded baitfish—with a tungsten rattle that draws fish from distance. Whether you're casting and twitching along structure or trolling in deeper water, the Perfect 10 dives to 10 feet and produces the flash and vibration that trigger strikes from pike, walleye, and other gamefish.

The Rogue Roll is what sets this bait apart. That rolling action isn't just eye candy for anglers; it's a predator magnet. The combination of erratic movement and the internal tungsten rattle creates a profile and sound that gamefish can't ignore. The chrome blue and orange belly finish is effective in both clear and slightly stained water, offering visibility and contrast when fish are actively hunting.

The Perfect 10 has earned its reputation in northern waters, particularly among walleye anglers working the Great Lakes and similar systems. It's equally at home in freshwater lakes and rivers across the country. The quick-diving design means you're in the strike zone fast, and the jerkbait's responsive action rewards an aggressive retrieve or steady trolling speed.
