New Rouge

Recommended Posts

I saw the new 10 plus or whatever the name is, Rouge at HL&S. Has anyone tried it? Colors look great, thought about picking up a couple but already have some deep LC jerk baits I never throw, haven't had much look with deep diving jerk baits.

Those colors really hooked me, someone tell me if they are hooking fish.

I bought some at the classic and at HLS. Haven't thrown them yet, but plan to when I get out this week. I have been catching lots of good fish on deep divers this year. I started throwing DD's simply because my partner was throwing a shallow diver. Just something different and it worked.

OK, threw the new rogue today at the Beav and caught 2 Kentuckies, 1 walleye and 2 LMB's. It casts like a rogue (not very good in the wind). It was going deeper than a regular rogue, but I wasn't getting it to 10'. IMO it may be a little to big for the beav and the size of the shad right now. With the weather this week I should get to experiment with it a couple more times. Right now, it will not replace my current favorite JB!

One more question;Do you throw jerk baits on baitcasters or spinning reels? I always use spinning reels myself especially with rouges because they are so light and I just work jerk baits slower and can jerk them better with a spinning reel.

It is just what you started on, baitcasters are better reels overall, but I used spinning reels for years before moving up so when it comes to light lures and working something slow it is where my confidence lies, then I am very heavy on brakes with my baitcasters so if it is under 1/2 oz I pick up a spinning reel.
