Keitechs?

Featured Replies

A friend of mine introduced me to keitechs the other day and I fell in love. I can't wait to use the 3 inch shiner for smallies. Anyone else fish keitechs and what bait do you use? I only messed with the shiners so I'm curious if they make any other cool baits. Pics appreciated!

Keitech Swing Impact FAT 4.8" is one of my favorite baits. I also use Keitech Crazy Flapper and

Keitech Mad Wag. Exeptional baits!

I like the Salty Core Tubes. I like solid body tubes in general like Fat Ikas Kinami Palm Trees and Damiki Hydras.

Swing Impact 4" on a Lucky Strike perfect worm hook

I've spent more on Keitech than any other soft plastic in the past year. This season I've been using them almost to exclusion on my home lake. Fatties in 4.8 on a swimjighead, 3.8s on the A rig, 4" SI's swimming on a ball head, on a shakey head they are killer. Shake'm, drag, dead sticking, hopping down ledges, and my favorite, a light C-rig nose hooked with a Owner wacky hook. After watching the Classic I threw one on a chin spin with great and surprising results. The Easy Shiner shines on the rig, little ones (3"" on the top and big ones on the bottom. I've even C-rigged these as well. Yeah, they're flimsy, but $.50 per fish is worth it to me. I tried the 4" SI's on the A-rig but they caught up on each other due to the ribs and softness

Note: I run a small piece of 40 pound mono sideways thru the head of the C-rigged SI. One drop of glue holds it there, then cut the excess flush with the head. Nosehook the wacky hook (#1) right behind the peace of mono. This old school trick REALLY saves baits.

Sorry, no pics.

I just ordered the 3in. swimin shiners haven't used them yet but they look pretty nice I'll probably throw them on a Drop-shot.

Live Impacts dropshotted work great.  Swing Impacts in 3-4" on the A-rig or dropshot, and limited success with the shinners.  Also tried the Fat Impacts, but they didn't produce as well as the Swing for me.  Also like their tungsten ball jigheads as well as their casting jigs and small football jig.  And sorry no pics.

4" Swing Impact on a 1/4oz Bullet Head catches everything that eats other fish.

Agreed 100%

fat impacts are best swimbait on the market. i do use the 3 inch shiners on a drop shot for smallies.... keitech also makes a really great swim jig called the model 3 that i love to throw all year long

i also had alot of success throwing the 4.8 swing impact on a biffle hard head last fall for big bass, excited to try it alot more this season

Primarily the Swing Impact on a Northstar or Seibert swim jig for me...I have so much confidence in this rig it's silly. I even went out and bought two dedicated swim jig set-ups because they work so well around here...one for 1/4-3/8oz jigs, and one for 1/2oz jigs. :)
