Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Floating Rattlin Rogue, 1/4oz Chrm Blk Back OB fishing lure #19156

Chrome finishes like the one on this Chrm Blk Back OB model provide a high-reflectivity profile that serves as a primary attractant for clear-water predators. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7g), this Smithwick Floating Rattlin Rogue is a versatile choice for both casting and trolling techniques. The 19156 product code identifies this specific USA-manufactured specimen, which features a silver scale-etched body, a solid black back, and a vibrant orange belly. Its condition is rated at 5/5, showing the original hardware and clear diving lip in excellent shape. Equipped with three treble hooks, this rattling model is designed to operate in the top layer of the water column, reaching depths between 0–1ft (0–0.3m). A pair of yellow eyes with distinct black pupils adds a focal point to the head of the lure, completing the classic profile.
