Fishing kietechs question

[BottomBouncer13]

What swim bait heads do you like to use for fishing with kietechs for bass and walleye? Also which ones do you use?

[briansnat]

I rarely use any heads. I mostly just use a plain, EWG worm hook. If I want weight to get it down a bit I use a keel weighted worm hook or a small bullet sinker.

Not that I have been using them that long, I've just been using then with plain old round jighead (cheap). Using 1/8 or 1/4 oz. Just make sure to get ones with big enough hooks. I like to hop them along the bottom so not a big deal when I get snagged and have to break off.

Any jig heads will work and some even wobble giving the bait even more action. But if you bite the tail off of a Kietech you now have a Nedtech and we all now how well they work. It all depends on how you what to present your bait.I make most of my jigs so it really doesn’t matter to me but it’s fustrating losing time when you have to tie on another jig.The keel-weighed EWG as mentioned before is a must have.

Keitechs are very soft, so use a jig head with extra barbs such as Cabin Creek or Calcutta shad heads. 1/4 - 3/8 oz chartreuse head and 4"swing impact in color AYU for Delaware River Eyes. P.C.O.

Keitech makes a perfect tungsten ball head with a thin collar keeper. Also the owner 1/0 weighted EWG is a perfect fit as well.

Get ready to drop some coin lol. They don't last long but work great for various applications.

I prefer a shaky head with a 1/0 or 2/0. The eye on the jighead is 60 degrees vs 90. This helps minimize hang ups.

Many try to replicate the keitech but I have yet to find a worthy, confidence inducing substitute to date.

i fish them with a VMC boxer jig head and put a little crazy glue on the contact point so the bait doesn't get pulled and ripped as easy...

Everything they make is money. The 4 and 5" shad impact fished weightless is deadly...on a 3/0 Owner light wire hook, shimmies while spiraling on the drop...it's like a soft jerkbait and senko had a baby.
