Jerk bait colors

Only place I know where you can have a 5 page long discussion on jerk bait colors.  Love it!

That's nothing compared to our discussion of pliers.

Ha ha!  I saw that too.

Up in Western Michigan, there are a group of anglers(including me) that throw the Big Limited Rogue on Fireline. When the big postspawn females are on the weed flats and weed drop-offs, it out-fishes most baits for 3-5 pound tournament fish. The best color was called Bream or Green Perch, but it really looked like a Baby Bass. The Tennessee Shad color was about the same, but it didn't have the lateral lines painted on it. They don't make the Limited Edition Colors any more. We also trick it out with a feathered treble, suspend strip on the throat and another around the front hook.If anyone has some of the 5 1/2 " Limited edition Rogues, I would be interested in buying them or trading wiggle warts or other baits for them.

Love the old big rogues. Have a stash of them, but not the perch colors.

You might take some good photos of one then send a few to our own Tim Hughes, custom lure painter to the stars. He can perfectly match your desired colors, and I can personally guarantee that his work is unmatched. I believe I even have a couple of those big Rogues that I will give you, or I can relay them to Tim for painting and then he can send them on to you.

I'm looking for the Limited Edition Rogues. They are the same length(5 1/2 inches) as the Perfect 10, but have a shorter bill. We use the Perfect 10's also, but we have a lot more grass up here and they tend to snag in the grass more. I know Tim Hughes is very good. I have a few of his baits. I have a guy by me that can paint well too.

Here is a picture of three different Limited Edition Rogues and a Perfect 10. They come with the silver Gammies. Some guys use a dremel tool and grind off a 1/4 inch of the bill on the perfect 10. I have caught fish on these Rogues on Table Rock as well. On Fireline too. Most people don't realize how clear our water can be on a lot of the lakes in Michigan.
