Just wanted to pass on some information regarding the new upcoming Keitech Fat Swing Impact 6.8 and 7.8 swimbaits. Keitech's Aaron Britt has a couple videos about the new 6.8 and 7.8 on his facebook page. Curious when they were coming out, as im in the market for some swimbaits, i figured i would email Keitech and see what sort of information i could get. i was surprised with a reply email about 2 hours later telling me that they anticipate the release of the 6.8 and 7.8 fat swing impact to be not until June or so. So sounds like we have a little bit of a wait for them. Im sure the demand will out weigh the supply at first. Cant wait to give them a try.

Thanks for the info and glad you got a direct response from Keitech!

Can't wait to put that 7.8 on the new Owner Beast 10/0 Flashy Swimmer.

WOW...What a chunk of plastic!

 

 

 

 

That thing is a beast. Anyone wanna guess what the 6.8 and 7.8 will weigh?

Yeah I agree. Pleasantly surprised.  I thanked her (name was Karen) for the info and she then replied with "you are very welcome". Top notch customer service.  I have never purchased keitech products, this is my first real consideration. Looking for a good bigger swimbait before jumping to the $10 plus savage gear etc. To me a 4 pack of the 5.8 fat swing impact is a better bargain right now. Pair that with great customer service,  I'm definitely buying keitech. Hopefully they get some more hats and shirts online. Their brand is definitely growing!

Whoa!! That gives me goose bumps!!

I seen a post on Instagram not to long ago about a possible release of them at end of March once they got prices and packaging in order but now the patient wait will begin until June hopefully!

But just checked there out of stock.

Last I heard was they'll be released in September

When are they coming out with the 16.8? Looking to catch the big ones.

I cannot believe they did not release these early summer. Sure down south they can fish year round, they are missing out on a huge market (the northern half of the country that freezes over in winyer). Don't get me wrong, I'll purchase them anyway, but I would love to use them this summer (up here in Maine). Came across big hammer brand swimbaits that have a 7" and 9". Very interested in trying those on a weighted jig head. But I do love the action of the keitech impact fats.
