Optimum Double Diamond Swimmer - $3.99

Unique design and outstanding performance are the earmarks of Optimum Bait Company's Double Diamond Swimmer. Optimum Bait Company worked on the Double Diamond Swimmer for over two years, and this is Optimum Bait Companies first exclusively cad (computer aided design) bait. Most Swimbait manufacturers have mainly focused on appearance when designing baits, but The Double Diamond Swimmer's(patent pending) design is performance-driven.

The Double Diamond Swimmer has three distinct actions. It tracks in a tight zig-zag pattern, swims with its entire body quivering and churns water with a monsterous tail kick. The Double Diamond features a slot allowing it to be Texas Rigged with either a Weighted or unweighted offset wide gap hook. Another effective way to fish the Double Diamond is on a jighead. The Double Diamond Swimmer features a guideline at the head of the bait to trim down the bait to the proper circumference for fishing on a jighead.

Optimum Pro Staffers have been using the smaller 3.75 inch version of the Double Diamond Swimmer for a swim jig trailer with great results.

Comments: I've had some luck with these baits 3.75". Though if your looking to try them, I'd suggest buying multiple packs of them (only come with 3). They break so easily, the heads are just too small and break primarily while rigging. The action is a little stiff, but the weightless diving seems to entice.
