Evergreen Stream Rogue

The Stream Rogue is a shallow-running minnow that sits between the surface layer and mid-depth, giving a stable, controlled swimming posture rather than an aggressive wide wobble. This head shape and weight system carry across the model's size range, so the action and casting distance stay consistent regardless of colourway.

Suited to shallow river water and structure where seabass are holding just under the surface, and to pressured fish that need a slower, more deliberate presentation. It suits the river-mouth, surf and harbour water typical of estuary seabass sessions, matching the same conditions Japanese anglers designed it for.

A slow, controlled retrieve with occasional pauses keeps the bait tracking true in the target depth band; speed up only to reposition, not to fish it. Keep the rod tip low through the retrieve so the lure stays connected without extra slack building up on the pause.

9'0 inch-9'6 inch ML-M seabass spinning rod, 3000-4000 reel, 10-14 lb braid, 20-25 lb fluorocarbon leader. This balances enough backbone to work the trebles on a long cast while keeping the tip soft enough to protect light hooks on the take.
