The Optimizer Size 3 at 3-5/8 inches is a large, high-flash trolling spoon built for power-trolling spreads that need to cover serious water at speed. Its stamped body produces a true wobble-and-flash at fast trolling speeds without the rolling or spinning that limits lighter spoons, making it the go-to choice for targeting rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and striped bass in open-water applications. For anglers searching Pearl Optimizer colors, this Size 3 page is the primary place to choose Black and Pearl, Pearl White, Pearl Gold Silver, and related pearl finishes. The 24K gold and chrome base finishes with painted color overlays cover both high-attractor and natural baitfish patterns for versatility across the full range of light conditions. Available in 85 color patterns. The broadest color range in the Optimizer family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Optimizer spoon best for?

High-speed trolling for trout and salmon. The Trinidad Optimizer holds a seductive, erratic action at speeds over 4 mph, so you cover water and find active fish fast. It is proven on king salmon and other aggressive predators that chase down a fast-moving spoon.

How fast do you troll the Optimizer?

Over 4 mph. Unlike traditional spoons that lose their action at speed, the Optimizer keeps running true and reduces spin. Capt. Monte Smith fast-trolls it for Don Pedro kings and is not afraid to run the bigger sizes, since aggressive warm-water kings chase them down.

How do I find the right speed for the Optimizer?

Hold the lure next to the boat on a five-foot lead just under the surface. If it rises out of the water, increase your speed until it stays submerged and swimming. King salmon cruise around 16 mph, so faster presentations help you locate them.

What size Optimizer should I run?

This is the Size 3 at 3 5/8 inches. A larger Size 4 at 4 1/4 inches is also offered for bigger water and bigger fish. Monte Smith runs the bigger Optimizers for aggressive Don Pedro kings and drops to the Junior for a smaller profile when needed.

Does the Optimizer handle rough water?

Yes. It excels in surging conditions, holding its action through boat-speed changes and chop, so you keep fishing when the wind is up. Use its search-and-target strength to cover water fast, then lock in with precise figure-eight passes over marked fish.

Does the Optimizer need scent?

It draws strikes on flash and action alone, but Monte Smith adds a small dab of Kokanee Slammer to the back on spoon-only days at Don Pedro. He runs Optimizers, Trigger Spoons, and Speed Spoons together, sometimes with no dodger, to trigger fast reaction bites.

What pairs well with the Optimizer?

Run it with the Speed Spoon 2.5 inch. Both are fast-troll spoons Monte Smith fishes side by side for Don Pedro rainbows and kings, letting you show two high-speed profiles at once until the fish tell you which they want.
