In September of 2004, Bass West Magazine interviewed Aaron Martens on the water while fishing the BASSMASTER classic. He is quoted saying, “This is the best swimbait ever made. It’s the old Optimum. It’s weighted different, has softer plastic and a different action.” – Aaron Martens 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 potence! 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. Perfect for slow rolling off the bottom. This swimbait was designed with an option in the belly to attach stinger hooks. When fishing open water, adding an additional belly hook can increase your strike to hook up ratio however it does limit your ability to slow roll the bait off of the bottom and structure. The Optimum Swimbaitsare available in multiple sizes & 23 colors (click on photo above to see additional colors)
