Museum Archive: Vintage Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue 14, 3/5oz fishing lure #21262

Featuring a distinct orange belly that contrasts with the silver scale-patterned sides, this jerkbait represents a staple of Smithwick’s USA production. Measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm) and weighing 3/5oz (17 g), the Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue 14 carries product code 21262. Its design is engineered to pause at depth, reaching between 1ft (0.3 m) and 6.5ft (2 m) when cast, or up to 10ft - 13ft (3-4 m) when trolled. The specimen is in 4/5 condition, displaying a well-maintained finish and original hardware across its three treble hooks. Golden-rimmed eyes with black pupils sit atop the head, while the internal rattle chamber remains functional for providing a specific sound profile underwater. The clear plastic lip is securely integrated into the nose, ensuring the lure hits its intended depth targets.
