The Rogue Series

Built for the deep water.

Big fish are lazy. They hold in cold, dark water and wait for something worth moving for. The Rogue is that something. Each one cut, shaped, and finished by hand in the Berkshires. You're not buying a lure. You're buying something that will outlive you.

The water does not care about your opinion of it.

The Rogue series came from years on Berkshire County water, chasing fish that had no interest in cooperating. Stockbridge Bowl. Onota. Garfield. The kind of water that teaches you to slow down, read the depth, and stop showing the fish what they already know.

The Rogue swims like something alive. Its weighted body and precisely tuned lip drive it down into the strike zone and keep it there on a slow, deliberate retrieve. One lure. Multiple depths. One job: get eaten by the biggest fish in front of you.

Each body is hand-cut from northern white cedar, shaped on the belt, and finished in multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer over hand-applied paint. No two are identical. Every one is tested before it ships.

Choose Your Depth

Two sizes. Same conviction.

The 425 works shallow structure and mid-column. The 525 goes deeper, runs heavier, and moves fish that have learned to ignore everything else.

Rogue 425

Shallow to Mid-Column

Four and a quarter inches of hand-shaped northern white cedar. The 425 is where most fish get caught, because most anglers never slow down enough to use it right. Slow it down. The 425 rewards patience.

Rogue 525

Deep Column — Trophy Presentation

Five and a quarter inches. Heavier body, longer dive curve, and enough presence that a fish holding fifteen feet down will move for it. This is the one you tie on when you're done playing around.

Why Handmade

The industry keeps pushing new. We keep proving old works.

Cedar moves like nothing else

Northern white cedar has a natural buoyancy that plastic cannot replicate. It rises differently, pauses differently, and kicks on the stop in a way that triggers strikes from fish that have been staring at factory lures for years.

One person builds every one

There is no assembly line. There is no overseas factory. Every Rogue is cut, shaped, weighted, painted, and finished by hand in Richmond, Massachusetts. When you fish it, you're using something that had a person's attention on it from the first cut to the last coat.

These lures will outlive you

Multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer over hand-applied paint. The hardware is top-grade. When properly cared for, a Rogue does not wear out. It does not become obsolete. It gets handed down. That is not an accident of design.
