Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue, 1/2oz Transparent White fishing lure #10481

Transparent White scales wrap the 5" (13cm) body of this jerkbait, providing a subtle presentation that relies on its clear-water visibility. Weighing 1/2oz (13g), the Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue is engineered to stay at a specific depth when the retrieve stops. This specimen, identified by product code 10481, carries the classic American craftsmanship associated with the Smithwick brand. During casting, the lure reaches depths of 1ft (0.3m) to 6.5ft (2m), and it can dive to 10ft (3m) or 13ft (4m) when trolled. The three treble hooks and structural components are in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of wear on the finish or the prominent red-and-black eyes. The internal rattle chamber and balancing weights are visible through the translucent plastic shell.
