How many pieces do you get?

How many i get for 13$?

Answer: I think 8

What spring/ jig head should I use to prevent tearing?

Answer: My favorite jig head is the Dirty Jig Guppy Head. Tackle Warehouse has them.

Answer: Use 1/4 ounce jig head, preferably with a weed guard. These lures are the best! Good luck!

Answer: I would suggest using a weight offset shank swimbait hook. Berkeley Fusion or Gamakatsu are fairly inexpensive. 4/O or 5/O for 3.8 - 5.8 Keitechs

How many 6.8" baits per order / pack ?

Answer: Three per pack

Answer: 6 I believe

How many in a pack?

Answer: six

Can similar colors be stored in the same tray in my tackle box without bleeding colors together?

Answer: They come in the plastic case for a reason the tails will stay unbent if they stay in the case. I put the different colors and sizes in small zip lock bags and put them in a plastic box on my boat. If you’re walking the bank you can just put the case in your pocket-they do not bleed color but if you use the same size,you can just use a small bag and put them in alternating heat to tail

Answer: Yes, they will not melt or bleed. Most plastics today are made from much different material than back in the day when they’d eat through the tackle box tray.

Answer: The colors won't transfer, but the scent might. Also, if they have glitter that can transfer to other items in your tray.

Answer: Vary favorable in fresh water. I bet a good color for salt water would work good.

Answer: Yes, I’ve never had any bleed onto another.

Answer: I keep mine separated so don’t know. However these are excellent baits.

Answer: Yep. I do it all the time.

Answer: Yes they can

Size for 4” swim?

Answer: What hook you say on a 4" swim? Then - what line and rod and any weight will be used should be questioned.

What colors work the best?

Answer: All of them seem to work. I would match the color of your local baitfish. These catch fish! If you're gonna spend more than $7 on a package I would suggest looking elsewhere like TackleWarehouse!

Answer: Tennessee Shad works best for me

Answer: It may depend on the part of the country you are in. In the Midwest, Tennessee Shad, AYU, Perch, Black, Sexy Shad, Alewife and Smallmouth magic are big sellers

How many do you get for $15.79 is this just for one?

Answer: Hi Jeff.

colors available

How many come in a pack??

Answer: 5

So, I can buy this for $5,99 with 7 per pack from kaitech, or, I can buy a 5 pack from 9.99 from you... is this right?

Answer: It’s an availability thing. Check Tackle Warehouse.

How many in a pack of 5.8's ?

Do they catch bass

Answer: YESSSSS!!! They are like candy to large mouth bass

Answer: I've caught several largemouth and smallmouth on them. These swimbaits are highly recommended by serious bass pros. They're very good. In the right places of course.

Answer: They love'em like dogs love peanut butter

4.8 how many per pack?

Answer: 5

What kind of hook do i use?

Answer: I use Gamakatsu Superline Spring Hooks. I have weighted and non weighted from 3/0 to 6/0. There are numerous types of head and hooks available for swimbaits but I keep it simple as possible. The hook just needs to be a wide gap to get a good hookset, there is a lot of plastic on most these style baits that will clog the hooks. Hope this helps.

Answer: All depends on what size Keitech you buy,and if you are wanting to fish them weedless,the owner screw locks work the best for me,if im wanting to fish weedless,there are hook charts online to match up the size Keitech you choose

Answer: I use a 2/0 Gamakatsu Offsset hook. Rig it through the head then through the stomach area like a worm. make sure that it is straight

Answer: Most of the time I use a ball head jig with a long shank hook. Any swimbait head will work, and I'm going to experiment with a belly weighted hook.

So, is this $11 plus change for a single rubber lure?

Answer: 6 individual swimbaits in the package that I ordered. I day delivery. I placed my order and was catching fish with this bait less than 18 hours after I clicked the Buy button. So great.

I ordered fs38-422, the sight flash color; it was pictured green on the product description but arrived silver / white. which color is correct?

Answer: Silver/white I believe.

what is the quanity in a pack

Answer: 5

Answer: I think 5

How many do you get

Answer: I am almost positive there is 6 but I’m not at the store to verify

Anyone use these for slatwater fishing?

Answer: Our fishing pros at Green Top Hunting and Fishing have confirmed that this is usable for saltwater fishing.

could this work as a swim jig trailer?

Answer: Sure. Makes an awesome trailer for a swim jig. If you don't like the way it swims rigged right side up, try it upside down. I use them as trailers for chatterbaits too. And you have to rig them upside down because the blade takes away from the natural wobble of the tail.

Answer: I've never used the 2.8" version, but I've used the 3.8 as a chatterbait trailer and it worked great.

Answer: this is a great trailer for a swim jig. Especially in the smaller size. however if you are really looking to use it for this purpose only, I think you can save money and opt out of the "fat" and just get the regular swing impact.

Answer: Probably,yes. I bought them to use with an A rig. Not much of a swim jig guy.

What's a good color for darker water?

Answer: For muddy or staind you will want a black and blue or a white because it will stand out

Answer: I would fish with sexy shad or electric shad.

Product reviews of Keitech Fat Swing Impact

Apire : Works great

Swims great.
Has scent.
Has a groove for inserting hooks.
Catches fish.
great product, will reorder!

Boog : Keitech ,very good product.

Catches fish for sure!

Jake Martin : perfect in all sorts of situations

fantastic bait. Swims better than any other swimbait on the market.

shooky64 : Fishing’s magic lure

Great fishing lure for bass and walleye as well as white bass.

JackAttack : Catches fish but durabile at all

Expensive (ish) charged shipping an handling, durability of soft plastic sucked ass. But did catch fish. Lost a paddletail every other catch, bringing the fish in. Don't take much to fling off.

Simple Bubba : Soft thicker Swim Bait

Great paddle soft swim bait to add to your jig... It is thicker in the middle giving you a more realistic body if that make sense to you'll.... Softer than StrikeKing similar type bait. So the action on the back side of your skirted jig will be different than the other brand mention. I use a 4/0 skirted jig. This is a new color for me, but I have had gr8 luck with the "Black and Blue" on the rivers here in Tampa Bay area.

matthew baver : Best swimbaits you can buy

Best swimbaits you can buy! They have almost every size availible and color i use these everytime i go out in some form and tbey always catch fish, great squid sent, awesome colors, awesome sizes, you can rig the several different ways, as said prior durability is sacrificed for action of the bait and the life like feel. Awesome bait!

Jimmy : Great action and easy to rig

Great swimming action lure and easy to rig. It has a nice indent in the body to make it weed less. They hold very well up either casting or trolling. I match the 3.8" with a 3/0 screw-pin and weighted hook, and 4/0 hook with 4.8". Can be Texas rigged as well. Overall a very well designed and quality soft plastic lure!

Anthony Hong : Buy it

These things practically never fail.
Pros: almost always catch fish
Cons:they don't last long

customer : Swim bait

Cool lures great gift for the nephews

Boog : Keitech ,very good product.

Catches fish for sure!

suave : Good action but not durable

My experience with these is below average. My main issue is durability - the tail seems to come off just from casting and retrieving. Yes, the action is great but there're quite a few of other trailers that are more robust, but still have great action.

David : Keitech 3.3

Everything about them looks awesome. Great package, softbait looks super realistic ,can't wait to try them out an see if they produce fish

Amazon Customer : Me likey likey

if you don't get the number you expect, here's why

Bub61 : Catches fish

Flexability and catchability

Richard Schmidt : worth a try

pretty cool action on retrieval. hope to catch a big one with it

Matt B. : Great plastics

Best feeling and action swim bait i have seen and I bought the 3.8' and is a little small for a 4/0 hook size under spin. But the only reason for a 4 stars is becasue i did not get the color shown in the picture that I selected.

Shinhye : Rockfish killer

Great action to it. 5inch with 1oz to 1.5oz weight and you get your rockfish from shore or wherever.

David : These baits catch fish

I have caught tons of smallmouth and some walleye and had countless bite offs using these soft plastic swim baits. I like the fatter profile these offer. Keitech soft plastics are really soft which helps in giving them added movement when they sink...and fish love that. I match these up with a screw swim hook. Screwing the baits on give them much more durability. I have caught fish at all times during the year with these but they really shine in the spring and fall.

l krawczyk : Great bait!!!!!

Great product!!! Caught tons of bass on these up north this fall!

Loves2Read : Five Stars

husband uses and is happy!

A&L P : They're great!!

These things are amazing!!

kerryinthenameof : These are some of the best swimbaits on the market

I own a bunch of these in bluegill flash, some 4.8" and 5.8". These are some of the best swimbaits on the market. It really does look like a live fish swimming through the water. I was fishing today, and I couldn't get bit on anything else, but I caught a 3 lber on my second cast after switching to this bait. The only drawback to these is their durability. The material they're made out of is very similar to senkos; it's a soft rubber that's filled with salt. This is what's responsible for the bait's incredible action, but it means they fall apart easily, which sucks because they're not cheap.
Also, if you're gonna use these, be sure to get some weighted spring/twistlock gap hooks. The bait will spin in the water if you're not using a weighted hook.

joey : Good product

Worked, shipped on time

JackAttack : Catches fish but durabile at all

Expensive (ish) charged shipping an handling, durability of soft plastic sucked ass. But did catch fish. Lost a paddletail every other catch, bringing the fish in. Don't take much to fling off.

Joe G. : They work

Great

Joseph & Lydia : Keitech's catches fish but are far too delicate and don't last. Get Rage Swimmer instead.

These work well while they are on your swim jig or whatever rig you are dressing. The problem is they are delicate and if you're getting bites you will go through these fast. The tails are easily bitten off. and Once you've dressed them on a hook once or twice, that's it. The hole begins to increase in size and they no longer stay on the hook. In fact, because they are so soft, they are often moved out of position on the hook when pulled through the weeds and after a strike. I now use Strike King Rage Swimmers - they catch fish every bit as well as the Keitech but are far more durable. They are made of a tougher rubber that lasts far longer. Amazon sells the Strike King Rage Swimmers. I know there are still long term die hard anglers that use the Keitech just like there are those that are still loyal to mono instead of braid. But I would not let that influence you.

Jimmy : Great action and easy to rig

if you don't get the number you expect, here's why

Rich : Highly recommend!

This is a Bass Catching Machine! Been catching Large Mouth and Small Mouth with it consistantly! Highly recommend!

shooky64 : Fishing’s magic lure

Great fishing lure for bass and walleye as well as white bass.

Mike Holliday : Falls Apart While Casting

Won't stay on jig, even ones with excellent keepers. Might as well fashion a swimbait from cream cheese.
Get yourself some Bass Assassin Lil Boss - will last long and generate as many strikes.

JDub : Great fish producer but rip apart very easily.

Went through an entire pack in half a day. Catch per paddle tail about 2medium sized large mouth bass. These babies are fragile, they come off the hook extremely easy. The action is phenomenal and they absolutely produce fish! If you don't mind spending a boat load of money on these then they're for you. Just expect to lose a bunch of them. I'll be going with a more durable softbait. I'm a broke college student whom can't afford to have the swim bait fall off after a hard strike or decent fight. When I'm out of school and have a fulltime job I'd stock up on these!
