About this product
The Junior Optimizer is a large, precision-stamped trolling spoon engineered for high-speed presentations that cover serious water and produce rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and king salmon when standard hardware can't keep up. Its wide profile pushes through the water with a consistent wobble-and-flash at fast trolling speeds without spinning or rolling out, giving it reliable action across mixed-speed spreads from inside lines to outside leads. Built to cover long distances behind the boat, it stays in the strike zone from the flat line all the way back to the third rod, making it one of the most versatile spoons in the lineup for any multi-rod trolling spread. The 24K gold and chrome base finishes maximize reflectivity, and the full 28-color library covers the attractor and imitative patterns that produce across varying light conditions and fisheries.
Overview
How to use
Questions and answers
What is the Junior Optimizer best for?
The Junior Optimizer is a 2.25 inch trolling spoon plated in 24K gold on both sides. It is built for fast trolling and holds an erratic, fish-triggering action at high speed. The intense flash pulls trout, king salmon, lake trout, and walleye in open water.
How fast should I troll the Junior Optimizer?
This is a high-speed spoon. It runs best at speeds over 4 mph and covers water fast for search-and-strike fishing. If the spoon hydroplanes or surfaces, increase your speed until it settles into its tight, seductive action. Use quick turns and figure-eight patterns to trigger hesitant fish.
What leader length works with the Junior Optimizer?
Keep your leader 5 feet or less when running the Junior Optimizer for scattered or staging fish. A short lead keeps the spoon tracking tight behind your gear at high trolling speeds, so its flash and darting action stay in front of aggressive, fast-moving schools.
How is the Junior Optimizer different from a normal spoon?
Traditional spoons spin out and blow apart at faster speeds. The Junior Optimizer keeps its erratic, baitfish-style movement even past 4 mph, and its design compensates for boat surges in choppy water. That lets you troll fast, cover more water, and keep a natural action working through rough conditions.
What colors does the Junior Optimizer come in?
The Junior Optimizer offers 24K gold, coppers, pearls, and glow finishes such as Blue and Pearl, Pearl White, Silver Watermelon, Watermelon GLOW, Brown Trout, and Undertaker Glow Dot. The 24K gold flash mimics baitfish across conditions, with brighter and glow patterns shining in low light or stained water.
What scent should I add to the Junior Optimizer?
Add Chrome Killer Scent by Big Nate to your Junior Optimizer to load extra draw onto the spoon. A dab of scent gives fast-moving fish one more reason to commit when they chase down the flash, without dulling the spoon's high-speed action.

Shasta Lake Brown on a melon colored Optimizer spoon
The spoons work great. Caught fish every day I used them. I will re order
Everything is as expected. Thanks
They work really well for trout so far. Great quality split rings and hooks!!
They run great and the fish seem to love them!
Put this on in the AM and caught a beautiful land locked salmon within minutes.
Website was very easy to operate through to select the lures I wanted. Quick mailing time and arrival was nice as well. Looking forward to using the lures as soon as fishing season opens up :-)
Good quality abd great price.
This item was originally missed on my original order, but they were quick to reply and ship this out long with a couple other lures. I really appreciate the great service. Great service is hard to find these days. Thank you.
Love that you get free shipping after so many $ amount. The spoons I ordered look great!!!
Good service and product! Very happy!
Haven't tried it yet. Waiting till start of spring to give it try.
Great piece
Looking forward to putting my new lures to the test on Shasta Lake! 😉
Haven't tried yet but look good.
Like it have not got to use it
Shipping is fast received in good condition have not hot to use them yet hopefully today
These are just the right size and weight for the rainbow trout up here in Lewiston Lake and Lake Shasta. They are not too wide and not too heavy. I ordered a selection of different colors and have been trying them out - had good success catching rainbows with these at Lake Shasta.
I liked every lure in the kit the only thing I didn’t like is the way they where all shipped in one bag one of the lures got scratched up pretty good and a few had scuffs on them. I don’t think the fish will notice. But it could easily been avoided.
Great at Shasta!!!
They work great!!
Put to test and had fish within minutes
Awsomr finish
