New on the big bait scene is a new company out of San Diego, California; CL8 Bait Swimbaits. With some serious R&D, this company spent the time and effort necessary to put together one of the most innovative swimbaits to hit the big bait market in a while. Their attention to detail culminates in a very trick hook system. The CL8 Bait Swimbait features a big Gamakatsu jig hook molded into the top of the 9 inch hard bait. Along the belly and pelvic fins is a Gamakatsu EWG Frog Hook very well and cleverly hidden along a slot between the fins, which is held in place by a powerful magnet. If this wasn’t trick enough, there is an additional trap hook very well hidden in the adipose fin near the tail. This clipped Gamakatsu treble hook only has two points, but this is necessary to maintain the stealth factor. This is also held in place via a slot and magnet.
Durability was an important feature that this swimbait company has paid close attention to. The soft moldable fins add lifelike movement to these hard baits and are very resistant to tearing. Although the CL8 Bait Swimbait is a hard bait, the unique material utilized actually allows a good amount of flex which only makes these baits all the more durable. Instead of cracking/breaking like most hardbaits, this flexible “hard” material will absorb the shock of an accidental errant cast.
