The ONETEN MAX LBO takes the legendary ONETEN concept into a dramatically larger 135 mm body while retaining the sharp, responsive character that defines the ONETEN family.
 
Rather than simply scaling up the original lure, the design was re-engineered around the patented LBO II moving-balancer system. The result is a large-profile jerkbait that combines exceptional casting performance with rapid action startup and highly responsive rod control.
 
At 135 mm and 3/4 oz, this minnow is built for situations where larger bait calls for a larger presentation and a stronger presence in the water.
 
A Magnum ONETEN Without the Sluggishness
Making a jerkbait larger creates an obvious engineering challenge: increasing body size can compromise responsiveness and make the lure feel slow to react to rod movements.
 
The ONETEN MAX LBO addresses this with a slimmed, highly refined body shape rather than simply enlarging the original ONETEN. The body was made considerably thinner and more tightly shaped to preserve the crisp movement and responsiveness expected from the ONETEN concept.
 
LBO II – The Technology Behind the Cast
The LBO II uses a low-resistance weight-transfer mechanism incorporating micro ball bearings arranged in an infinite-loop configuration. This allows the internal weight to move through the body with exceptionally low resistance.
 
During the cast, the weight is held toward the front of the lure by a magnetic field. Once released, its inertia generates a powerful propulsion vector that contributes to exceptional casting performance, including when casting into a headwind.
 
The LBO system is stated to increase maximum casting distance by 20% compared with products without the system.
 
Instant Action Startup
Once the lure lands and the retrieve begins, the internal weight rapidly returns to its forward position. This allows the lure to begin swimming almost immediately. That rapid weight return helps eliminate the delayed startup and sluggishness traditionally associated with larger minnows, giving the lure a notably fast response from the beginning of the retrieve.
 
Built to Follow the Rod
Its agile response is intended to follow the rod in a manner comparable to the original ONETEN, while the larger body and LBO II system provide the casting performance expected from a substantially larger lure.
 
The larger profile creates a more substantial presentation, while the underlying engineering preserves the quick interaction between rod movement and lure action associated with the ONETEN family.
 
A Larger Presentation for Big Bait
The ONETEN MAX LBO was developed for situations in which bass are pursuing larger bait and the original version does not provide enough impact. Its 135 mm profile creates a substantially larger presentation, giving anglers an option when a bigger silhouette is required.
 
This is not simply a ONETEN made larger. It is a purpose-engineered extension of the concept, combining a magnum-sized profile with the casting and responsiveness technologies necessary to make that size practical.
 
LBO II – More Than a Weight-Transfer System
The LBO II contributes to several important characteristics of the lure's design:
 
Low-resistance weight transfer
Increased casting distance
Strong inertial impact during casting
Stable weight movement
Rapid return of the weight to the forward position
Fast action startup
Lower center of gravity
Responsive overall lure design
 
The system also allows the body to be made slimmer than would be practical with conventional spherical internal weights. This contributes to the lure's overall combination of castability, balance and responsiveness.
 
Floating Jerkbait
This is a floating jerkbait with a maximum stated running depth of 1.8 m. Its floating buoyancy, rapid action startup and responsive rod control combine to create a large-profile jerkbait designed around active manipulation.
