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.

Product reviews of Keitech Fat Swing Impact

Tonygrowsfood : One Star

Be careful ships from Japan!!!

Joshua : Awesome bait. Strong

Awesome bait. Strong, unique scent and good motion in the water. Looks like a minnow, but really more like a cane thumper, rib snake hybrid. First bought Tennessee shad. Dyed tail chartreuse and fish mostly with a weighted swim bait hook

J.Chandler : Good looking bait

Didn't catch fish yet!!

Amazon Customer : River smallies want it

Great bait. Smallmouth magic color is on point for river smallies.

Richard Schmidt : worth a try

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

Anthony Hong : Buy it

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

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Awesome action!!!!

Amazon Customer : Keitech always 5 stars. This product to me is ...

Keitech always 5 stars. This product to me is never in question of that. The seller is where we need to rate. I start everyone with 5 stars. This seller has given me no reason to change that.

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.

karen stanley : Five Stars

Good product!

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Andres Caro : Good, but could be better

Be careful ships from Japan!!!

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.

Bub61 : Catches fish

Flexability and catchability

Amazon1 : Four Stars

Works good.

karen stanley : Five Stars

Good product!

David : These baits catch fish

Bub61 : Catches fish

Flexability and catchability

A&L P : They're great!!

These things are amazing!!

GG : Very Realistic

Actually it is very realistic. A little larger than I thought and you need a large hook. But the swim action is very realistic.

Rusty : ad lacks information

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

Bricen : Four Stars

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

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.

l krawczyk : Great bait!!!!!

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

Jaecsun : It's Keitech......what'd I expect

Keitech doesn't disappoint with this one. Some baits feel chep but not this one, and the action on the tail is fantastic! Will definitely order again.

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

shooky64 : Fishing’s magic lure

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

Shawn C. : Soft

Works just as good as the rest of them

Amazon Customer : Four Stars

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

Matthew Lenear : Great swim baits

Great swim baits with a really good action. Doesn’t take much movement to get an amazing action out of these baits. The one down side is they are pretty soft so they don’t last super long but that is the trade off for the action.

elizabeth s. : Four Stars

Great swim action. Caught a nice snook of it.

shooky64 : Fishing’s magic lure

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

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
