Joel Maust Hey Joel - Awesome! I'm glad you are having success with them. They are definitely the real deal and a dynamite lure day in and day out.

Great vid, very informative! I have looked at these for awhile and after seeing this vid I'm definitely gonna pick up a pack! Nice job man!

Thanks a lot! Keitech definitely makes some high quality stuff that, for me, has been working tremendously!

Another great video when I need you! Thanks!!

Best freakin bait i've ever owned. No matter what conditions, the swing impact ruled them all.

Watched your vids and you mentioned the keitechs numerous times so i decided to try for my self. The hype is real!!!!! My fav color is blue gill flash and silver flash minnow.

Love the vids man keep em up... the whole Keitech brand has recently caught my eye.. just waiting now for the snow to melt to order me some of these babies

Nice vids mister, very informative , keep up da good work

I know this is an older video and I have been subscribed for a long time but I just wanted to say thank you. Your video inspired me to try swimbaits out so i picked up a pack of these Keitech first cast caught a 3lb fish! Not a giant but a step in the right direction!

BakoBassin Hey Bako - thanks for letting me know and I'm happy for you! You can NEVER go wrong with the Swing Impact Fat's. If you haven't already....try the 5.8" size sometime. They get all the bites that the 4.8's do, but I've gotten some nice mid 4lb fish on them too.

Thank you! The baits hold up pretty well. On average I can get about 3-5 fish per bait. The part that goes is the head. I've prefer to use screw-in type weighted swimbait hooks, but I find the screw portion of them is rather small. What I do now is replace them with the Owner 1/4" CPS spring...which is quite a bit larger than what any brand offers stock. That added size screw equals more surface area gripping the bait, which extends the number of fish you can get before it starts to rip.

these lures are amazing!! i'm using that for sea bass, and they work's so good!!!

Hello to the Netherlands! Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video. They are really such dynamic lures. If I was forced to choose only one lure, just one, it would have to be these.

Thank you so much for exposing the keitechs! I'm new to bass fishing and need some tackle that produces fish. I picked the keitechs up last week and tore them up. Thanks again for the good info! KEEP IT REAL

Zack Porter Hey Zack - Glad your having such success with them! Two years later nothing has changed...its still is the #1 overall lure I can recommend someone....regardless of lake and conditions. They just lowered their prices across the board on the Impact Fats too....so even more reason to stick with them instead of the imitators.

Even the 3 inch ones work well but only problem with the little ones is you'll go through a pack of them Quick

Just saw your video, thank you for sharing!

Absolutely one of my favorites as well. I personally like using the 3.8 as a trailer on a a 1/2oz zman chatterbait and that thing smokes fish all day long! Only secret is that I rig it on the hook upside down it flutters better on the chatterbait when it’s upside down

I saw this video a year ago... They finally showed up at Dicks recently. I bought a couple this last week. I kid you not from Sunday to today... I've caught at least 40- 50 bass and pickeral on them. This is my new favorite lure. Everything you said is correct about the hooks. I have only missed 1 hookup out of those fish only because i put my rod down for a second lol. anyway from living in Philadelphia, watching your videos are very helpful to a guy that mostly fishes NJ lakes. thx my man. keep it going!

Aren't they awesome?! To me they are as crazy effective as a Senko....just in a moving/swimming-type lure. They are coming out with large sizes soon (6.8" and 7.8"). I'll be reviewing those and doing a total recap of these. I have more fish catching on them than I can shake a stick at!

Thanks man. Can't recommend them enough.

Hello from across the pond! I'm glad you having good success with them. I haven't actually used that size yet. I only have the larger sizes (4.8 & 5.8) for largemouth bass. According to Keitech's site though they recommend a #1 size hook for the 2.8.

Hi man, just subbed and gave ya a thumbs up! I ordered me some Keitech (sizes from 2.8 up to 4.8) got them this week and haven't had a chance to use any yet....but I will this weekend. I am gonna rig them with 1/8 oz weighted twistlock hooks by Owner, will try your advise and thanks for the tips. Never used them before. Keep the vids coming brother!

So informative. Thank you so much.

Caught a great northern pike on this today here in northeast Ohio. I've never seen a pike in these waters before - lagoon area at the inlet of lake Erie. Awesome swim bait.

I use the owner beast 💪 lovely video really enjoyed it thanks 👍

Hey bud, I just want to say thank you for the amazing insight you share. In this case on the Keitech you got me going in the right direction with this bait. I've also made a few modifications that help improve my hook up percentage and colors that have become staples in my tackle box based on success. Last, I want to say this has become the lure I throw as my search bait. Replacing the Spinnerbait. It's a lot quieter and more subtle and you can fish it at any level in the water column, plus very weedless so you can run it throw a lot of gunk. The Spinnerbait Is great in some situations, Keitech I've found to be great in most situations.

Hey Central - thanks man, appreciate it. Glad I was able to provide some info you found useful. I agree on all your points. Your last line pretty much sums it up perfectly....great at one thing vs good at most things. I've been fishing the 6.8s and 7.8s since last year. Planning on a review. Interestingly I found the difference more than just the obvious (size), the added weight creates body movement resistance that makes the larger sizes not quite as universal in what they do well.

@centralnjfisherman1472

6 жыл бұрын

KeepinItReelFishing - I actually stick to 3.8 although smaller, the action is just not the same for me on the larger sizes. I’m sure they catch fish but since I consider this mostly my search bait I want the best chance of action quickly so I can hone in on what kind of mood they are in. You can run it however you like. I guess because of the 3.8 design I can run it at slower speeds and still get serious action out of that tail.

Like your videos and I agree with you...they work in any conditions. I’m sold on them just like you and bought tons of them from tackle warehouse. Best color for me so far black 4.8 1/8oz 4/0 gamakatsu. Only been using them for the past 2 months but they have been super amazing. Stupid results!

What size line and leader you using??

I found some 1/8oz Bass Pro Shops brand nail weights that just make it. I put them in at a steep angle to simulate the weight toward the bottom (putting it straight up from the bottom would distribute the weight evenly top to bottom and not achieve the "keel" effect). Your right on the swim jig, there isn't enough bite for the 4.8. But additionally, I got frustrated with how much that line tie assembly got hung up. For some reason it was a magnet for weeds.

these are very good sometimes i throw the small 4 inch ones with no weight and dam they work very well only down side is they get torn up quick

Great video. Thanks.

Well done👍

Great vid. I may just have to pick up a few packs of these.

I bought these because of your video. I like them a lot but I haven't done that great with them alone. Swimming or jigging them as a trailer on a swim jig I have done really well were I fish. This or a craw trailer on a jig is my go to bait.

Hey Roberto....thanks for watching. Yeah....I was hoping you saw it....I knew I covered it in there somewhere.

I use the nail weights now sometimes. If I am fishing very clear water I'll go to a finer guage 4/0, even 3/0 hook and use the nail weights to minimize the bait looking more artificial than it has to be. Those beast hook do have a HUGE gap.

Couldn't agree more. I have a small tackle soft side tackle box now filled with Keitech Swing Impact Fats. I flat out, out fish anyone in the boat not using them. Literally caught 7 bass before 2 other guys in the boat landed one.

I have bought from both. I wanted to try someone other than Tackle Warehouse, so I tried Land Big Fish a few times, but each time the processing time took longer and back ordered things took a long time to come back. Its hard to find a better deal than TW's 5$ two day shipping and they stock deeper than ANYONE. I like to support local places and smaller online shops, but TW is just so good on all fronts.

Awesome video. Please do a detailed review of the 6.8 and 7.8 swing impact. Thank you

Nice vid!

Good whatever time of day applies ! Hello from Russia ! In the year one I look your videos-rollers, but pleased here it where you tell about a lure from KEITECH ! We in Russia too use such lures for fishing, mainly it is a pike and perch ( on occasion pike perch). you explain the methods of editing not catching! Interesting me what types of fishes you catch with the use of such editing of lure ! I not so a long ago began to master кастингвую I catch and to catch on soft lures ! Mainly I use editing of "каролина" or "техасс", want to know on what lures of this producer you yet prefer to fish! Thank you for video!!! there is Slava

Good vid

I've been using the Eagle Claw Lazer 5/0 on the 4.8 size and the 6/0 on the 5.8. Mustad is comparable as well in terms of the widest gap. Lake Fork also has a nice one.

Thanks man!!! I went out and bought the blue gill flash 4.8 and used it with the weighted wide gap hook.....amazing results! Best review ever. Does exactly what you said. I'm tempted to tell more people but I want to keep this as a secret weapon!

hi mate, thanks for your video. i've ordered a few of these and tested them in the canals around London (UK) and they seriously worked amazingly with perches. The size that killed the most have been the 2,8", i was wondering which hooks you've been using more proficently for texas rigging this size? thanks!

i love how these things look and act under water, i'm actually bout to make a nice big order and get a bunch of colors, can i ask what is that weighted hook you use, i really like at how much room the bait actually has

My favorite and most confident to throw lure of my year this year so far, expensive and fall apart easy but flat out catches fish. Always going to have one of these tied on. Caught a 3.3lber on 1st cast yesterday as soon as it hit the water and started to sink it got hammered! Also pulled out a pair of 2.5lbers right in front of my buddy back to back hahaha

100% my go to bait man!! i don’t go for the Fats that much, more of the 4.2 than 4.7 because i feel it gets more bites and more of quantity over quality tbh. but occasionally i give my pond a week or two break from fishing and toss out a fatty for just the donkeys. i’ve caught my PB on the 4.2! fishing these for two years now and won’t switch a damn thing

KeepinItReelFishing what hooks do you use for the 4.8 or the 3.8 like a worm hook or weighted hook something to make it mostly weed less but realistic acting because I tried it with a weighted hook that has one of the screw in bait holders a worm hook that had the weight on it and even just a basic worm hook but it never seems to hook right so do you think you could do a hooking video some time for various lure styles too?

Keitech Swing Impact Fat 3.8 - 4.3 - 4.8 просто в не конкуренции , очень уловистые приманки - просто лучшие!

I fish the 3.8 Keitech for about the last 10 yrs haven't been out missed my last trip cause of rain. I use a different hook, I am a novice that scores like a pro with these I would try this first with my experience catches it all where I am fishingm

Keitech recommends a 2/0 for the 2.8, 3/0 for the 3.8, and 4/0 for the 4.8. Irrespective of brand, I'd recommend a 1/8 oz wide gap swimbait hook for the 4.8, and the same or 1/16 for the 3.8. (I must admit I've only fished the 4.8 and 5.8 models). I like the Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp weighted swimbait hooks, although I think 3/0 is the smallest they go, so if you father wants to run the 2.8 Impact Fat's he would probably be better served with a standard wide gap 2/0 hook and a small bullet weigh

Great video...very informative and through. I work at Bass Pro in the fishing dept. in our Mesa, Az store and we obviously don't carry this bait. I too have recently become informed about this bait and have ordered some from Tackle Warehouse in the 4.8" to try in our waters here in Arizona. Keep up the great work and you may enjoy my fishing video's here on KZread I've filmed with our resident Bass Pro Gary Senft. Again Thanks for the informative video.

Hi, Funny just checking google about Keitech swing impact (fat). See your youtube video..I like your demo;-)) In the Netherlands we also found out the huge attractive force of this lure! We fish at European seabass and the 3.8" fat impact blue gill or electric works best!! At least for my friends and me. We fish at water with not so much currant but really compared this bait with other good bait. These are the best!! We fish with jighead on the rocky bottom. Maybe weedless we should try

I love these baits as well! I personally believe best paddletail swimbaits in the market! I have a question though, what weighted hooks do you personally recommend for for this bait? Mustad has been really dissapointing for me. Also size of hook for size of bait! I forgot the recommendations! Thanks!

So does the that hook basically act as sort of a shaky head (maybe should call it a shaky hook!) impart a tad more movement to the body? I've been just using a regular solid jig head (where the hook comes out of the top) and have great luck. Looking forward to trying em like this. And I've discovered the top water aspect too. Only I'm usually weighted too heavy. So gonna try some lighter weight weighted hooks like this. Thanks!

DIP THE TAIL IN CHARTREUSE JJ'S MAGIC AND THE FISH DAMN NEAR SWALLOW IT EVERY TIME

Great video! I have been using Keitechs for 2 years now and i have found that they are one of the best. The way i have had my success is by using the swimbait heads. I havent tried them how you had them rigged in the video. I fish deep clear water and use the Hedz brand jig heads and let it fall to the bottom and then slow roll across points and rock piles and have hammered them. This way that i rig them seems like i have much better contact with the bottom especially in windy rougher water conditions. How do you fish them in those kinds of conditions. I would think that 1/16 or 1/8 oz would be too light but i could be way off on that. I like the weedless aspect of how you rig them especially since there is alot of underwater wood in Shasta. I totally see how the fall rate with lighter weight would be key sometimes so was wondering what you recommend in white cap conditions. Thanks for the video, i look forward to seeing more posted from you. Tight Lines! Mike

Thanks Mike. Yeah....you and I fish much different waters. Only one place I fish is semi deep and pretty clear, but otherwise I fish generally shallow and weedy waters. I have seen other guys use the same technique you are with great success too. When I do fish the deep water I like to still be snag free so I'll rig mine on a 1/2 or 3/4 oz Biffle-type (free swinging) jig head. Chompers makes them also and called them "Wobble Heads". The hook is recessed Texas style and the wobble head lets the lure not only kick its tail like normal, but allow the whole baits to jump around left and right. I'll use the same technique you mentioned.....dragging in on the bottom. The other way I will fish them is casting over a point and jigging them up and down on my retrieve. To keep them weedless I'll use something like the "Blade Runner Weedless Swimbait Jig Head" or, my new favorite jig the Nu-Tech jig head.

Still a mainstay in my Bass arsenal ☮️🎣😎

man, ive been watching your videos for a few hours already while here at work,(printing work, have time in between prints) and everything you do is so detailed and well said. you've helped a lot. its funny cause i just ordered the 5.8 and its on back order until 7/30/14 so i think plenty of people know! i appreciate your videos, and will keep on watching. oh i wanted to ask what size hook and weight do you use for the 4?

Some times I use it on an unweighted EWG hook. It still swims upright.

I agree....a got exactly the same and everytimes he catch grass... but great ation

Wow! Made a believer out of me. This keitech is money! Only complaint is the fragility. 3-4 bites and I have to pull a fresh one out of the blister pak. Any thoughts on the toxicity to the fish? Few times it came off the hook and she swallowed it.

The nail weights I've seen look too tall for the 4.8 size, do you cut them or have you found nails that fit uncut? I saw you didn't like the Keitech Model III swim jig, were you rigging the 5.8 in this video or was it the 4.8? The Keitech catalogue recommends the 4.8 size for that swim jig, they might be better suited to the 3.8 to get more bite on the hook.

Thanks for posting this video. I always like learning new strategies. Still feel the same way about these baits?

Absolutely. I throw a lot more of the big lures now looking for trophy size fish, but nothing has changed...these are, IMO, probably the most versatile and effective lure I own.

Cheers for the video..would be nice if you can show us just how you rigged it with the hook. As they aint cheap i tend to tear them up when i hook them and i have yet to try the hooks with the corkscrew tip either. Would be good to show us a quick 30 sec how to hook it. Thanks

I've got a few in the video so I'll list them in order of widest to least wide offset. Eagle Claw Lazer, Mustad Ultrapoint, Owner centerpoint, and the Keitech model built into the jig had the least. I haven't used the Gambler myself....and there are plenty of other options as well. But the Eagle Claw has proven to be the most cost efficient hook with the widest gap offset.

have you used those brand brand new new yamamoto zakos yet? they work pretty damn good! use them for chatterbait trailers, underspins, and just like you use these keitechs with weighted hooks... good all around bait plus its gary yamamoto so the plastics nice!

i tried the bluegill sm size mot the fat style and started turning my days around.discovered the jackall rhythm wave swimbaits.there great 2.i use em weightless and real real slow

hey just a question. when i put a 3/4 0z bullet weight then texas rig the keitech with ewg how do i stop it from sometimes spinning in the water? i want it to swim true everytime. should i put some sort of swivel?

What size hook do you use for the impact fat size 4.8 in your video?

Recommended hooks for these little guys? Like the weight and hood size for the mid sized lures? I was planning on getting my father some of these but he tends to like the smaller lures for getting into the little nooks and crannies.

I've used the basspro speed shad ones...n I've caught a lot of bass..wonder if these are better?

Keitechs are THE BEST(in my mind without question) paddle tail swimbaits on the market for northeast fisheries. The colors, the action, the scent they use... these things are absolutely dynamite AND they have action when falling on slack line when many other offerings do not. I use all 3 variants. The 4" easy shiners are my favorite swim-jig and chatterbait trailer. I use the regular impacts on A-Rigs, and I use the 4.3 and 4.8 inch FAT impact by themselves on jig heads or swimbait hooks. I like the VMC IKE swimbait heads recently. Before I discovered the Keitechs, almost at every lake I fish in upstate NY I'd run into guys swearing by theses. They were even using them for walleye. Finally I saw some at a local Dick's and picked up a pack of all 3 versions and they all caught fish. Especially during the summer when the bite was tough. I too now swear by them. I'm convinced the scent has a lot to do with it. I throw similar swimbaits like jackall rhythm waves, but the keitechs always produce the most bites. My favorite colors: Sight Flash - Tennessee Shad - Green Pumpkin/Chartreuse - Sungill - Bluegill Flash.

They aren't released publicly just yet Alan. I think just a few Keitech tour pro's have them. As per Keitech USA they are currently claiming a release of this month.

try an underspin with one of those keitechs you got!!

Have you ever tried using tungsten nail weights in those two holes in lieu of the weighted hook? Might make it run true with un-weighted hook and give you the weight you need while keeping the weight hidden. I use the 4/0 weighted Owner "Beast" hook and there's plenty of bite. I'm not sure if that model Owner hook was available when you did your first video on this bait. I know you didn't like the little gap on the standard weighted Owner you were using.

u da man!

What colors work the best

Hey, I'll give you a clue-- I've used the fats for years- with good luck- initially I was using the skinny ones, the swing impacts non fat- but they were so skinny and difficult to rig- eventually the fat bite started to decline---- so one day I ordered some 4.5 swing impacts, the skinny ones again- and I've never looked back!!! they are producing like crazy, way better than the fats-- check them out--- the crystal shad color has been very productive with the green watermelon doing well at dusk----

Eagle Claw offers them in a few weights....but I tend to use 1/8oz or 3/16oz. That gives them a nice slow fall when you stop reeling, but is heavy enough to provide full tail kicking action.

ME TOO......Skeptic is putting it mildly. The BS runs rampid around here. Everyone is a super-pro. I study and test. And you're right I'd like to try these for Speckled Trout in saltwater. Rigged the same, as this or just Jighead in deep water. Yo-Zuri plugs (some) have the ribs on them too. So maybe there is something to the ribs

How do you keep the bait from sliding down past the hook? The screw lock is fine but it always comes back to me with the hook completly exposed. I am going to try some superglue on the top of the bait where the hook lays. I suppose a fish will break that seal and hook up but this seems to be my biggest problem. Any advice?

Hi! Great review! I've seen your swimbaiting videos. You didn't talk about the 5.8" Keitech Swing Impact FAT on those videos. Do you think they're too small for big bass? I was looking for an alternative to the Huddleston 68 Special Weedless, because I fish from the bank and I loose lures regularly and don' have money to buy a Huddleston every month. Do you think the 5.8" Keitech is a good replacement for the Huddleston 68 or is it too small or not realistic enough?

+Marco Caetano Hey Marco....I REALLY love the Swing Impact Fat's, but yes....I do not feel they have the size or presence in the water to regularly bring about large bass. Of course people WILL catch huge fish on it, but it doesn't fall into my category of a lure that "hedges your bets". However, as a bank only fisherman your going to lose a lot more lures and I totally understand that using the more expensive lures doesn't make sense. So yeah...its a truly fantastic bait that gets bit no matter what. But, I just wouldn't classify it as a lure to use if your focused on trophy size bass only. I have actually contacted Keitech USA urging them to consider a 6.8" and 7.8" size being that the swimbait market is steadily growing in popularity. They said they have had many requests for larger sizes....so, we will see. Also, check out MC Swimbaits. They make huge 9" lures, as well as very bulky 6" lures that are weedless and not as expensive as the Huddleston lures. www.tacklewarehouse.com/MC_Swimbaits_9_Weedless_Swimbait/descpage-MCWS9.html#multiview

You can also try the Strike King Shadalicious I caught my PB 6.90 on one but that was on a lake... I used an 8/0 Owner Weighted Beast hook on it and it was just the right weight and has a lot of bite as well!

what size weighted hook would you recommend for the fat 4.8?

What color should i purchase for stained water?

What kind of hooks are those and were did you get them.

The skirted version would be cool to match a crappie.

What size weighted hook were you using?
