Optimum Baits

Som noen kanskje har fått med seg er jeg IMA-fan. I USA samarbeider IMA med Optimum Baits, så da fant jeg ut at jeg ville teste et lite utvalg av deres produkter også.

Alltid gøy med pakker i posten.

Jeg har handlet rett fra deres egen nettbutikk, Optimum Bait Store. Prosessen var enkel og grei, og de tar PayPal hvis du som meg ikke liker å legge igjen kredittkortinformasjonen din flere steder enn strengt tatt nødvendig. Det tok tre dager fra bestilling til pakken kom.

Utvalget er amerikansk, med andre ord stort og rettet mot bass. Ca 15 modeller i 50 forskjellige farger gir litt å velge mellom. For de som bryr seg om slikt så er alle modellene utviklet lokalt (om enn med noen modeller som tydelig er inspirert av andre merker) og håndlaget i USA. Visste du at Optimum visstnok var det første merket til å lansere en jigg med blyvekten støpt inn i jiggkroppen?

Jeg plukket ut noen antatte vinner for hjemmefrontens abbor, gjørs og røye. Bortsett fra Titan har alle modellene jeg har kjøpt en "lomme" i buken. Denne gjør delvis at de blir ekstra myke og delvis at de kan rigges weedless med en offsetkrok. Pluss i margen for forklaring av rigg-varianter bak på pakningene.

En pakke av 6 stykk 2" Opti Shad #564 Herring til 4,99 USD. Denne gleder jeg med til å slippe ned foran noen røyer.

Opti Shad

En pakke av 5 stykk 4" Opti Shad #568 Rythm & Orange til til 4,99 USD. Ikke helt ulik Storm Makan Minnow som Lars skrev om i DENNE artikkelen?

Opti Shad

En pakke av tre 3" Double Diamond Swimmer #505 Sunfish til 4 USD. Denne er jeg spent på for vanlig spinnfiske.

Double Diamond

En pakke av 6 stykk 3" Victory Tail #510 Pearl White til 4,99 USD. Frekk til dropshot?

Victory Tail

En stykk 5" Titan Optimum #505 Sunfish til 9 USD. For de gromme aborrene.

Titan

Porto kom på 16,90 USD så totalt 44,87 USD for morroa. Nå må bare denne hersens vinteren se å bli ferdig.

The perfect settings for Lowrance? A guide on how to set up your 2D-sonar part I.

Perhaps the most repeated question in Facebookgroups and forums regarding marine electronics: "What are the best settings?" The bad news is that there is no uniform answer to that. The good news is that you can adjust settings according to conditions if you have a little knowledge as to what settings you should tweak and why. Here is part 1 of our guide to get the most out of your unit in regards to settings.

What is the difference between HDS Carbon and HDS Live?

Here we go again, a new generation of the Lowrance HDS. And with that Facebook and the different forums are flooded with questions referring to the difference between the new and the old. So what is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and HDS Carbon?

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

When Lowrance launches a new mid-range unit, it is a big deal. Forums and Facebookgroups light up with questions on the new stuff, differences towards the old stuff and questions on compatibility. As usual, we in Team Colibri will try our best to sort that out, both on a technical level and with a more practical in-your-boat approach.

Lowrance Hook 2 versus Lowrance Hook Reveal

You have to hand it to Lowrance when it comes to the name of their new entry-level line of sonar and chartplotters. We all want to hook up, and what better way to do that then by having our marine electronics reveal to us where the fish are?

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and Elite Ti2?

Lowrance as a brand of marine electronis is well known to all anglers, but the differences within their range of different models seem to cause quite a few questions out there. Here we will try to outline the difference between Lowrance HDS Live (top end) and Lowrance Elite Ti2 (middle range). Lowrance Elite Ti2 vs Lowrance HDS Live (photo; lowrance.com) As usual, we will start with the tech and then try to translate those technical aspects to practical differences while out on the water. Hardware - housing, screen and connections. The screen and housing on Elite Ti2 is the same as on the previous Elite Ti, and again more or less the same as on HDS Gen 2 Touch. (The memorycard-door and mounting-bracket is different from HDS Gen 2 Touch.) This is by no means new stuff, and compared to the more advanced housing and screen on HDS Live, Elite Ti2 is starting to show its relative age. However, with that in mind it is worth noting that when looking at the competition, several of ...
