Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue 5.5" Emerald Shiner

The Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue 5.5" Emerald Shiner is a hard jerkbait built for anglers who want a responsive, flashy lure that triggers aggressive strikes in both clear and moderate-light conditions. This 5.5-inch profile dives to 10 feet on the twitch, making it a solid choice for casting-and-twitching presentations or trolling applications—especially effective on walleyes and other gamefish in northern lakes and reservoirs.

What sets the Perfect 10 apart is its signature "Rogue Roll" action: a distinctive side-to-side rolling motion that mimics the flash and erratic behavior of a wounded baitfish. That lifelike presentation works hard to draw fish from a distance, even when visibility is limited. The Emerald Shiner finish taps into translucent color patterns that have proven effective in clearer water, giving you a natural forage match that bass, pike, walleyes, and other predators recognize instantly.

Inside, you'll find a tungsten rattle that produces the exact acoustic signature serious anglers demand. That combination of visual and sonic triggers—the roll, the flash, the rattle—is what makes the Perfect 10 such a reliable tool for both casting presentations and trolling applications where you need consistent, fish-catching performance across different water conditions.
