Weighing exactly 2/5 oz (12 g), the gold scale finish of this jerkbait remains remarkably crisp across its 4 3/4" (12 cm) length. This Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue 12, cataloged under product code 11379, features a striking high-contrast aesthetic with a black spine, gold-scaled flanks, and a bright orange underbelly. Manufactured in the USA, the construction includes three sharp silver-tone treble hooks and an internal rattle system. As a suspending model, it is engineered to sit neutral in the water, reaching depths of 1–6.5 ft (0.3–2 m) during a standard cast and retrieve, while diving to 10–13 ft (3–4 m) when utilized for trolling. The condition of this specimen is rated 5/5, as it is unused and shows no signs of wear on the clear diving lip or the prominent yellow eyes with black pupils. A small silver logo mark is visible on the crown of the head, adding to the authentic details of this classic American-made tackle.
