Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Super Rogue 13, 1/2oz fishing lure #21372

A vibrant orange belly provides a sharp contrast to the teal-blue back and silver honeycomb-patterned sides of this classic Smithwick Super Rogue 13. Carrying product code 21372, this 5" (13 cm) minnow weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and is a versatile tool for both casting and trolling scenarios. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining its bright finish and original hardware with light signs of previous adventures. Designed as a suspending rattle lure, it reaches depths of 1-6.5 ft (0.3-2 m) when casting, while the integrated lip allows it to dive between 10-13 ft (3-4 m) during trolling sessions. Its construction includes three sharp treble hooks and distinctive red-rimmed eyes, hallmarks of its American manufacturing heritage. This lure's internal rattle chamber provides an auditory dimension to the presentation without the need for active manipulation.
