Fatboy Lures - Rogue
Specifications
About this lure
Compact Powerhouse with Deep-Diving Bubble Action
The Rogue is an all-rounder with a short, reverse-tapered head and deep cupped face that keeps it planted while creating a thick smoke trail. It swims with a strong head shake and dives deep before surfacing with a blast of bubbles, mimicking a wounded baitfish trying to escape. Stable and deadly, it’s a must-have for rough conditions or when the bite is slow.
Target Species: Blue and striped marlin, sailfish, bigeye and yellowfin tuna
Action: Dive-pop cycle with heavy bubble output and strong vibration
Rigging Options: Available rigged or unrigged
Recommended Spread Positions:
6.5" – Short Rigger: Subtle smoke close to the boat, ideal for mahi or stripeys
8.5" – Short Corner or Short Rigger: Medium profile with maximum commotion
10.5" – Short Corner: Heavy footprint and strong presence for large predators
If you want a lure that holds in tight and raises fish when others don’t, the Rogue has your back.

How to work it
The Rogue is trolled in a spread behind the boat at trolling speed, deployed from short rigger or short corner positions depending on lure size and desired commotion level.
The 6.5" model fished from the short rigger creates subtle smoke close to the boat, suited to smaller or more cautious fish; the 8.5" from short corner or short rigger delivers medium profile with maximum disturbance; the 10.5" from short corner projects a heavy footprint for large predators.
The lure's reverse-tapered head and deep cupped face hold it planted on the surface while generating a thick smoke trail. As it works, it cycles through a dive-pop action with strong head shake and heavy bubble output, mimicking a wounded baitfish. This combination of stability and vibration makes it effective in rough conditions or when the bite is slow.
