Krakenbass Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Just picked me up some Keteich soft plastic swimbaits. I've heard really good things about them. I love the colors they come in. Anyone fished these and found the best way to rig them to crush some bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.musky Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 They work great as trailers on swim jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aasenke Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 You should ask Bigwilliestyle about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findopolous Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 We've done well dragging them on football jigs for smallies as well as rigging them on a-rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 try drop shoting them a lot of people don't drop shot swim baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicalrat Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Also you can try using them on an Umbrella/Alabama Rig. They swim great for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwilliestyle Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Awesome swimbait. What size did you get? I have had plenty of success on them -- guess that's why I have a few hundred Anyway, you can rig the 5.8 on a 1/2 or 3/4 oz mustad swimbait hook; smaller sizes on owner/gamakatsu darter heads and scrounger heads up to one ounce work well in deep water. Also, check out the war heads....buckeye j wills and under spins as they all work too. I mostly throw the 5.8 but have caught them on the 4.8 and now in winter downsize to the 3.8 or 2.8. Try slow rolling it or fish open water...when you get a bite, they will thump it. Just get out and experiment is the best advice I can offer. Good luck.

I thought you are supoosed to use bigger sized swimbait in the winter for lethargic basses; and smaller baits in the summer coz basses are going after smaller baitfishes.

Razorfish Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 4.8 on a 4/0 1/8 oz gammy swimbait hook seems to get the job done. Can do 5.8 also if looking for a bigger presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
