ALL OF OPTIMUM SWIMBAITS ARE HANDPOURED IN CALIFORNIA AND FEATURE A SOFT PLIABLE PLASTIC. WE WANT YOU TO CATCH AS MANY FISH AS POSSIBLE, SO TRY RIGGING YOUR DOUBLE DIAMONDS LIKE THIS. THE FIRST SET UP IS HOW BASS ELITE ANGLER, FRED ROUMBANIS, RIGS HIS SWIM JIGS FROM PEPPER CUSTOM JIGS.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1769" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/2012/04/helpful-tips/3dd_package-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1769"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1769 " title="3DD_package" src="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/3DD_package1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">#1. The 3&quot; Double Diamonds come in a custom clamshell with 3 pieces.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1770" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/2012/04/helpful-tips/3dd_items-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-1770"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1770  " title="3DD_items" src="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/3DD_items1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">#2. Besides your jighead and the Double Diamond, you will need a pair of scissors.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1773" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/2012/04/helpful-tips/line/" rel="attachment wp-att-1773"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1773 " title="LINE" src="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/LINE-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">#3. About 1 cm from the tip of the bait you will see a line.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1774" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/2012/04/helpful-tips/img_0477/" rel="attachment wp-att-1774"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1774" title="IMG_0477" src="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0477-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">#4 Take your scissors and make a flush cut about 1cm past the line mark.</p></div>

By cutting the tip back, there is a lot more surface area to work with now. When using an offset hook there is no need to cut it back.</p></div>

Notice the size of the hook keepers. They are good size so the extra surface area will allow the bait to stay on properly and won&#39;t tear as easy.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1782" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/2012/04/helpful-tips/straight/" rel="attachment wp-att-1782"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1782" title="Straight" src="http://optimumbaits.com/OB2/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Straight-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">When rigging, make sure the bait is threaded on the hook strait. This ensures proper action!</p></div>

<p><em><strong>Wired 2 Fish talks about the Optimum Double Diamond</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Optimum_Double_Diamond_Swimmer_/descpage-ODDS.html?from=w2fish">Optimum Baits</a> released the Double Diamond swimbait a couple years ago and it&#8217;s become a staple among top anglers. The swimbait is equally effective fished on the bottom with a jighead as it is with a weighted hook swam just under the surface. However a few pro anglers realized early that it made an incredible swimming trailer on chatterbaits, swimming jigs, buzzbaits and more.</p>

<p><strong>Lake Amistad on Fire!</strong></p>
<p>Swimbaits are working at Amistad now. Get down there and bring your Optimum Swimbaits. Reports are coming in that the other lakes in Texas are kicking out nice fish on the Optimum swimbaits, but the guys don&#8217;t want to give it up&#8230;. Tough!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" /><strong>BABY KAHARA FROG</strong></p>
<p>The Baby Kahara Frog fills the need for a miniature sized frog, and at the same time this realistic looking and feeling amphibian is quite impactful in the water.</p>
<p>It features a stainless rattle within the body for a extra wake up call, and the body form allows the bait to slide flawlessly through the thickest of weeds.</p>
<p>The rear weight is made out of an environmentally safe zinc plate enabling long distance casting and also prevents the bait from landing upside down.</p>
<p>Dog walking is extremly easy with this mini frog and the super soft silicon skirt provides for extra appeal at rest.</p>
<p>There is a 0.8mm connecting eye in the rear for the anglers that like to add blade modifications.</p>
<p>The Baby Kahara Frog makes for an easy meal at 1/4oz in weight and 1.75 inches long.It features a #3 size hook.</p>
