Original Optimum

The Original Optimum (Magnum Optimum) is considered a middle of the road workhorse. This bait was built from the shorelines of Lake Casitas and Lake Castaic in Southern California. It didn’t take long for the rest of the world to realize its potency! These swimbaits have the ability to cover a relatively wide spectrum of the water column, especially with a little practice and familiarizing yourself with how these baits fall. The Original Optimum swimbaits stand out as the best swimbait because they produce rapid, drastic changes in direction, and quick flaring when pulled off structure or cover.

The 4inch original Optimum is also available in Red Hook series.

”Consistency pays off, and that is why I continue to throw the Original Optimum when fishing deeper ledges and points.”

Titan Series

The Titan swimbaits feature a wider body profile enabling a front to back body roll and the capability of a faster retrieve speed. We kept the same trademarked Optimum knob tail so it properly displaces water and emitting the particular vibration as it swims through the water column. The 5” and 6” Titan is designed with an Eagle Claw weedless wireguard so these swimbaits can be fished in the thickest of cover without the fear of getting hung up!

The Tiny Titan may look small in appearance but the tight vibrating tail kick is equivalent to its bigger brothers. The Tiny Titan comes equipped with a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook that features a wire brush guard enabling the bait to be thrown into thicker cover. The down sized Titan is ideal when working around docks and tight structure and when the baitfish is in its earliest stages.

Suspending Optimum

Do you want to go swimbait fishing or merely fish with a swimbait? Also known as the ATTRACTOR, the Optimum Suspending Bait will help you experience that thrill of a lifetime. This classic design has excellent body rolling action and maintains its stability through the use of two sets of bottom fins. The design of this swimbait allows it to slowly suspend in the strike zone longer with its perfectly horizontal fall. It can also be waked slowly on the surface or fished in shallow depths with a slow steady retrieve. It comes pre- rigged with a wire through system assisting its stability. There is a considerable difference in girth and bulk between the six inch and eight inch models. If you need a bait with a large profile and heavier weight, go with the eight inch model, the six inch is an excellent choice for those times when fish are little more finicky and are zoning in on smaller prey.
