How many baits in the package for $16.46???

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.

Stenz09 : Smashes Bass and Walleye

I've caught so many bass and walleye on these swimbaits.. and ive tried the majority of different plastic swimbaits. but I always go back to these as the old trustee! Blue gill flash, great action, fish love them!

Caught countless fish with these.

Awesome bait!

No big deal, not any better than other swim baits.

A&L P : They're great!!

These things are amazing!!

Ordered the black shad but the picture is something way different... but I got a black jig I wanted what was shown for the black shad. Then you have black in the picture I posted with this explains it

Trevor : Gets the job done.

Keitech 2.8 = Best Smallie catcher on the planet. Use on an 1/8oz or 3/16oz ball head jig.

Shinhye : Rockfish killer

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

Bricen : Four Stars

Good bait but watch out you might get sent the wrong color...

Apire : Works great

Swims great.
Has scent.

great product, will reorder!

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

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!

ROBERT WALTZEK : The best!

The best.

Dean DeMartino : The best lure you will ever buy!

I have been buying these for years and the bass love them. Great action. They are not a durable lure and don’t expect to get more than a couple of fish on each one without changing them.

The best lure I have ever bought!

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.

Vincent D. : Picture is wrong!!!!

Amazon Customer : Four Stars

I'd give it 5 stars except for the price. Found a cheaper supplier

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!

Chris Groth : Lingcod Approved.

These puppies imitate young kelp greenling and other bait/rockfish so good you're guaranteed a bite if you're dropping down as a trailer over a 200+ shelf or plugging 5ft rocks inshore. I like that I can store them "dry" with the rest of my tackle unlike the Gulp! Mullets that need to stay in juice and they keep every bit as effective.

Amanda Bankston : 5lb so yes it’s my favorite lure and has been since I started using them ...

Week of May 6 I caught an 8.3lb and a 8.5lb so yes it’s my favorite lure and has been since I started using them back at the first of March. Since that time I have landed or have seen landed out of my boat at least 20 bass of 6lbs and countless ones over 4lbs sing the Keitech fat swing

Dean DeMartino : The best lure you will ever buy!

Bub61 : Catches fish

Flexability and catchability

A&L P : They're great!!

These things are amazing!!

elizabeth s. : Four Stars

joey : Good product

Worked, shipped on time

l krawczyk : Great bait!!!!!

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

joey : Good product

Andres Caro : Good, but could be better

They catch fish, but they don’t last that much.

Matt Stacy : Great Product

My go to baits for fishing small & largemouth bass in rivers and ponds. I love the action and colors of these swimbait. I never leave home without them.
