I saw these on Tackle Warehouse, if you've used them please let me know what you think. Thanks

I have not tried those but I do fish a lot with a similar paddle tail grub ( Ecogear Grass Minnow ), it 's one of my favorite grubs, I think part of the sucess is that it 's something bass don 't see very oftenly.

Looks like this

Raul, thanks for the follow-up and the link, if I may  ask how do you usually rig & fish this bait ?

The Swing Impact is a good bait with alot of scent.

I use the Swing Impact Fat on a swimming jig, weightless etc.

On you tube you'll find plenty of footage of this bait.

Raul, thanks for the follow-up and the link, if I may ask how do you usually rig & fish this bait ?

I rig it in almost any imaginable rig you can apply to a soft plactic bait:

T-rig,

C-rig,

Splitshot Rig,

T rig with a weighted hook,

D-shot,

Shakey Head rig,

Nose hooked C-rig/ Split Shot rig,

Weedless "unweighted" rig ( with the weight of the bare hook ),

"Live bait" rig,

Jighead ( conventional, blade or swimming ) rig,

Bettle spin ( instead of using a curly/split tail grub )

Almost any rig you know or you can imagine can be used, it 's a matter of application, of what you want to show to the fish and where you want to show it. There 's tons of ways to skin a cat. 

What I find to my liking about the Swing Impact is that it 's available in larger sizes than the Grass Minnow, the grass minnow is a lttle bit too finessy, this one is more manly size. 

Looks like a Swim Senko. What's the difference?

This one actually has action.  ;D

Read the attachment. You must be

rigging the Swim Senko improperly

if you're not getting action from the

bait. The key is a 1/4 weight, pegged

or screw in.

No, I rigged it properly. I've just found baits of that style that perform much more to my liking.

Honestly, I have not caught a single fish on the swim senko. I've rigged it in numerous ways, including the recommendation above. I ended up pinching the foot off, and wacky rigging the remains, with good success.  Its one bait that I just don't get.

The Swing Impact on the other hand..... :-X

x2 with me except with RI Skinny Dippers instead of the Swing Impact.

Skinny dippers?  :-X

LOL, Took 2nd in two TX with that bait alone.

IMHO is different the swimming impact and Swimming Senko.

Swimming  is fatter than S. Senko and the Swimming impact mouved more water than Swimming senko.

roadwarrior those pics of the swimmin senko rigged weedless looks like a hookset would be impossible cause it seems it wouldn't come out of the worm during hookset, it would just bury it further into the worm. i often wonder about this cause shakey head rigs are similar in that the point of the hook is pushed just into the belly hiding it. do these plastics collapse easily enough for a hookset? i always push the hook all the way through just barely exposing the tip on the other side so that it can actually grab onto something if bit

that's the beauty of Yamamoto plastics, they tear apart completely upon the hookset so as to free the hook from the plastic!!!  ;D

Comes up all the time...I like "soft" plastics.

I have caught a few on the swim senko and also had alot of short hits on it.

That isn't an issue with very many soft plastics.  Use a power snap hookset, and the sharp, metal hook will tear right through the soft plastic, and penetrate fish flesh.

i have used both kietechs, the fat one and the little one. i have caught a ton of fish on both. the only problem i have is the cost. the best swim bait on the market in my opinion is the dipper. hands down that bait catches fish and they usually last for a couple of fish.

One of my favorite baits is Ecogear 's BTS, man if you complain about the durability of GYCB baits you should try one of these and you will complain no more, these things are fragile to the point where if you happen to sneeze hard on the bait it will fall appart, if you get lucky and don 't snag you can get a fish out of it, a fish per bait and they are toast. Add the fragility to the limited availability and the price you quickly think twice about getting some.

Here 's the solution:

It works wonders  .

Raul good reccomendation on the mend it, I use it for my paddletail soft swimbaits, cheaper plastics like trick worms etc. I don't usually bother.

Does anyone have a couple Keitech Swim Impact

that you would be willing to sell or trade for some

Micro Munch Tackle El Gordo tubes?

And/or some of these:
