Smithwick Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue, 1/2oz orange/green fishing lure #18603

Welcome To The World of

Suspending Rogue™M Fishing.

You have just purchased the most uniquely

designed fishing lure available today... a lure that

acts just like a real baitfish. When you pause

your retrieve, your lure pauses... it doesn't pop to

the surface or quickly sink, it simply sits there,

motionless. Depending on any one of the many

factors explained below, it might slowly rise, or

slowly settle. If there's a fish anywhere around,

whatever the specie, it can't resist this lure's

life-like action.

About Your "Suspending" Rogue.

First, it is difficult, even with today's high-tech engi

neering, to produce a lure that perfectly "suspends"

under all fishing conditions. Even though a sus

pending lure is meticulously tuned, weighted and

balanced, it will eventually, however slowly, rise

toward the surface or settle deeper. There are many

factors that contribute to the degree your lure will

"suspend". Note: You cannot test your Suspending

Rogue by dropping it in a sink, a bathtub or even in

a backyard pool... you must take it to your favorite

fishing water. Its effectiveness will be proven there.

Other factors that affect the suspending action of

a lure: Line Weight: Long casts using 20 lb. test

line adds weight and may cause your lure to

settle faster. A lighter weight line and shorter

casts may cause your lure to rise faster. Hooks,

Split Rings and Snaps: Should you choose to

change hooks or split rings, or elect to use a

snap to attach your line to your Suspending

Rogue, your lure may settle faster than

designed. Finishes: Simple paint schemes are

lighter than the popular Sunburst colors. The

number of finish coats needed to assure the

brilliant flash of the Sunburst colors add a slight,

but critical weight to your lure.

Again... your Suspending Rogue has been

carefully designed to suspend, ever so slightly

rising or settling, under "average" fishing

conditions... using medium weight line, making

average length casts, the median weight color

schemes, and tying the line directly to the line-tie

split-ring.

You will soon discover, if you haven't already, the

excitement of fishing with a Smithwick

Suspending Rogue. Its uniquely designed

suspending action will prompt a strike even after

you've tried everything else. Good fishing!
