A prominent "Jim Bitter" signature adorns the side of this silver-scaled specimen, identifying it as a professional-grade tool from the Smithwick lineup. Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g) and measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm), the Suspending Rattlin’ Rogue features a textured silver foil finish that transitions into a vibrant blue along the spine. This model, identified by product code 8101, is a classic rattling minnow designed for versatility, reaching depths of 1-6.5 ft (0.3 m - 2 m) when casting and up to 10-13 ft (3 m - 4 m) during trolling. The top of the lure is clearly stamped with "RATTLIN' ROGUE" in black lettering, complemented by three dark treble hooks and a clear diving lip. Large black-and-yellow eyes provide a high-contrast target near the head. Made in the USA, this specific lure remains in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean finish and intact hardware.
