Optimum Baits Victory Tail

The completely versatile Victory Tail utilizes the same technologically advanced design principles, but possesses an elongated minnow style body and tapered forked tail section. This streamlined swimmer has an incredibly realistic slithering action that is perfectly suited for literally unlimited applications in both fresh and salt water.

Again, like the Opti Shad, Optimum’s trade mark extra sensitive tail design functions in unison with the body for unrestricted fluid motion. This translates into the body and tail moving simultaneously emulating the exact characteristics of a live baitfish.

In addition to being a fresh water anglers dream come true, the Victory Tail will also prove an invaluable asset for salt water anglers as a “go to” teaser for striped bass as well as other sought after marine predators. Simply rig the Victory Tail on a standard weightless or weighted J hook and tie 12 to 16 inches ahead of any sub-surface swimming plug and hold on as this presentation accounts for countless fish particularly stripers year after year.

The Victory Tail is offered in 3 or 8-inch sizes and both versions are superb for matching narrow bodied forage such as minnows, creek chubs, dace, eels, suckers and shiners in fresh water or anchovies, sardines, killies, spearing, rain fish, pipe fish, baby weak fish and especially sand eels in salt water.

With their noticeably slimmer bodies and long slender tails all four models and sizes of the Mad Scientist lures are in a class of their own in that they do not share the typical thicker, bulkier bodies of the soft swim baits and jerk baits saturated within today’s market place. We are confident that one will agree that this dynamic joint effort has rendered some of the most remarkable and life-like designs ever created.

Perhaps one of the most noteworthy qualities of this exclusive line is that while a finesse bait; each model was specially developed to be fished using lighter class tackle by any angler regardless of lure fishing experience. Whether using a constant slow crawl retrieve or an intermittent twitch/ pause method the subtle and ever present action is integrated within the lures design so there really isn’t a technique that won’t produce.
