The Paladin runs fast and flashy where the Rogue runs deep and deliberate. It carries the same handmade cedar body, but the Pikie-style lip gives it a wider, rolling action built for covering water and triggering reaction strikes. One design, tested on generations of water.

The Paladin body carries the shape of the Danny — a design that saltwater anglers have trusted for decades. The lip is Pikie-style, wider and more aggressive than the Rogue's, which gives the Paladin a pronounced rolling action that covers water differently. It's not a subtle lure. It announces itself.
That rolling action at medium speed produces a flash pattern that bass, pike, and pickerel recognize as something alive and struggling. You don't have to work it hard. The lure does the work. Your job is to keep it in front of fish long enough that one of them decides not to let it pass.
The industry will sell you something new every season. The Paladin design is not new. It has been catching fish for a long time, because it was designed correctly from the start. New does not mean better. The Paladin is proof.
The 425 covers mid-water and active fish. The 525 goes bigger, rolls deeper, and moves fish that have stopped responding to smaller presentations.

Flash and Roll — Trophy Presentation
Five and a quarter inches. The 525 rolls with more presence, covers more water, and draws strikes from fish that have learned to ignore standard-size lures. This is the one you tie on when you want to stop being subtle.
The Paladin is not a new idea. It is a correct idea, built the right way, with materials that earn their place in the lure.
Natural buoyancy means the Paladin rises back up on the pause in a way no injection-molded lure can replicate. That pause-and-rise is not a trick. It is what a dying baitfish actually does.
The wider lip creates the rolling action, but the angle determines the depth and the wobble frequency. Every Paladin lip is bent and tuned to the individual body before it ships. No two are quite the same. All of them swim right.
Cut, shaped, weighted, painted, and finished by hand in Richmond, Massachusetts. There is no assembly line. The attention shows in how the lure behaves in the water.
Hand-painted and sealed in durable, high-gloss epoxy. Top-grade hooks and hardware throughout. A Paladin is a legacy product — built to be handed down, not replaced. That is not an accident of design.
