Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Deep Suspending Rattlin' Rogue, 2/5oz fishing lure #19330

A bright red head transitions into a shimmering gold and silver body on this classic 4 3/4" (12 cm) jerkbait. This Smithwick Deep Suspending Rattlin' Rogue, identified by product code 19330, showcases the intricate scale pattern typical of these American-made lures. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the design includes a long, clear diving lip that allows the lure to reach depths of 10 ft (3 m) when casting and up to 18 ft (5.5 m) while trolling. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally clean with its original hardware intact. It features three bronze-finished treble hooks, providing significant coverage along the belly and tail. Aside from the vibrant red face, the sides exhibit a textured honeycomb scale effect over a silver base, accented by a small pink spot near the rear. The large, dark eyes are set deep into the head's crimson paint.
