Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue 10, 1/3oz fishing lure #23137

A coarse, textured gold glitter coats the majority of the 4" (10 cm) frame, reflecting a design era when Smithwick focused on maximum underwater flash. This specific Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue 10, identified by product code 23137, carries a condition rating of 4/5, exhibiting some honest wear where the glitter has thinned over the white base, particularly along the belly and tail section. Engineered for versatility in the USA, the 1/3 oz (10 g) body reaches depths of 1 ft to 6.5 ft (0.3 m - 2 m) on the cast, while deep-water trolling allows it to descend between 10 ft and 13 ft (3 m - 4 m). It is equipped with three treble hooks and a clear, short diving lip integrated into the red-painted head. The transition from the red nose to the gold body is complemented by classic painted yellow-and-black eyes, a signature detail for this rattling series.
