Keitech swing impact fat replacement?
Dutch replied to Dutch's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
I bought some Tackle Max Fugitive swim baits. The first one that I tried got ripped on the second fish. I replaced it and had good success with its replacement. I used Mend-It and fixed it. After using it for 2 trips it is back on the work bench letting the Mend-It repair dry. I wish that Mitch made a 2.8 so I could quit buying Keitechs. -
You bet. When I did a lot of white bass fishing. I’ve been in some with my old Champion 206 that made my draw string pucker. But if one is diligent and pays attention to the weather it can be a great place to go.

I think we are talking about a 16’ aluminum boat here. That is a whole different ballgame. The wind at Stockton can get a two to three mile unimpeded run due to the lay of the land and a 15 mph can get hairy if one doesn’t know the lake and has a small boat.
-
Go into them if possible. Go slow. Try to keep from being sideways. I have a 20’ boat and really don’t think much about it anymore. The main thing I would recommend is decide what you want to do then pick then pick the part of the lake that fits your plan, listen to the weather forecast, also check wind finder, pick a ramp nearest the area you want to fish and don’t go if the wind is going to be above 15 mph.

Hey glad you got out. We fished Stockton. It was white capping when we arrived. The caps turned into rollers before the day was over. We caught a bunch of 14-14.5” largemouth and several smallmouth. My coppertruse was the best bait. If we were more than 2’ off the bank we couldn’t get a bite.
-
It was a cold slow start for me. I caught that smb on a Tackle Max swim bait but nothing else. I had some fish pestering me on shaky but no takers. The Crig was the most productive thing I used today. It was cold but beautiful with very few others out.
-
That sounds great. I hope it holds for a while.

I know what you mean. Nearly every thread in here goes off the rails sooner or later, many sooner. If you would like to communicate via pm, feel free to do so. I stay in touch with some who no longer post that way.

I would be glad to read some ffs reports. I’ve never been able to get much good from mine.

Jeff met me at 06:30 this morning. We headed down lake. We looked for a top water bite that wasn’t there. We each got one on a buzz bait but nothing on a regular top water. When I tired of that I started throwing a shaky. I caught a couple but Jeff was using a jig. His jig was getting more bites than my worm so I switched back and forth from jig to shaky. He stuck with the jig. We wound up catching 20 bass, mostly spots. We didn’t really measure many but had some good quality fat spots that were just shy of 15.

A couple of years ago I got some good advice about these seats. Now I need some more. I bought the ones with straps because I wanted to be able to adjust the seat back angle. Now the straps are showing a lot of wear so I bought the cables and mounted them at the proper angle for me. My question is on tighten the cables. Should they be tight against the seat frame or allowed to move as the seat is folded and unfolded?
-
That is a pretty brown fish for sure.
-
Nice brown fish there. Devan rumors abound depending on where you hang out. I heard a black spinner bait rumor a while back but have yet to tie one on.
-
Bluebird sky and little wind didn’t help much today. If I could have kept some from coming unbuttoned we would have had more. It was still a good day to be on the water.

I buy it at 3 Rapid Roberts stores and none of them have signs except premium which is ethanol free.

Keitech swing impact fat replacement?

Thanks for the response. I’ve been thinking about them. -
My neighbor and I have been on a decent swim bait bite at Stockton. I make 2 kinds of swim baits and they don’t work as well as the Keitech swing impact fat. I’m looking for something else to use that is more durable. I rarely get more than 2 fish per Keitech. What are you guys using?
-
Congrats I hope you marked the location so we can beat it to death next week.

I only know of one person who has one. He is a dooms day prepper. He keeps his stuff in a cave along with all of his homemade moon shine.
-
That sounds somewhat familiar. How did the new Ultrex do?
-
76-77° on my birds below Cape. It was nice to finally see the ramp and parking lot open.
-
I’m not a tech for sure. All I can do is relate what my small engine guy told me. I have a snow blower which sometimes goes for a couple of years without being started and a couple of generators. He said to use Sea Foam in them. I do and top off with fresh gasoline before I use them.

Jeff met me around 06:30 this morning. We fished down lake. We used jigs, C rigs, several different shaly worms and Zman ZinkerZs shaky style. The only thing that we could catch fish using was the Zman worms. We caught them on several colors but Coppertruse was the best today. We had several good solid fish but most were just shy of 15”. We only had 3 keeper largemouth but wound up catching 25. It was very cloudy and misty. It got breezy around mid day. They bit pretty good for an east wind.
