Today I’m Bass Fishing with a Keitech and I show how to Texas Rig a swimbait. I don’t fish with swim baits very often but after a day like this, my confidence has definitely gone up! I finally get that first bass on a swimbait! This particular Keitech Swimbait is an Easy Shiner. Not only do I catch bass on it, but also a gig aggressive crappie with a crazy black stripe down its back. I am fishing the swimbait near the bank with 14 lb test braid. If you want to change things up a bit, try bass fishing with a Keitech Swimbait, you can even Texas Rig it!

I have been really busy so I published this early. I will read the comments when I get a chance. Keep it Realistic 🤘
Yooo try these with a tungstun jig head choose the weight you want I wouldn’t go too heavy they are very effective
Great and informative video. I just purchased the 3 inch Keitech. Can it be done weightless on 4/0 hook?
loved the vid mate, what size hook are you using with that lure
They call those black nose crappie around here. You won't catch many of them, but enough it seems to be its own strain…
Good video Alex. I just purchased these today and had to do some research on how to use them. Thanks man looks like I’ll be Texas rigging it, I think 🤔 I Texas rig every damn thing!! Keep it up brother
"That's one badass crappie with a badass mohawk!"
haha love it.
What's the ratings of the rod?
I wonder if pegging the weight would be ok?
Does that reel your using have one of those triggers so you can cast without pushing the bail over ..???? I think Shimano has a reel like that ….
LOL started watching the video and thought, hey that little dock looks I place I have been lol great little cove
Lol watched this video a couple times and never noticed that tree a beaver had gnawed the crap out of lol. Soon to fall I'm sure lol
Those fish were some fighters!
That crappie was insane. Nice catch.
I’ve fished Keitech for many years now—- I have better luck with the fat impact baits and even the skinny swing impacts over the shiners——- Generally slow steady retrieve and often get hit shortly after it hits the water….
Keitech swimbait sun will kills it 😎🎣
Badass moHawk!
Keep slaying them brother
That's one badass crappie with a badass mohawk!!! Omgggg dude you're by far my favorite youtuber. I felt that way when I caught a little hybrid striper out of the the river here in town. Blew me away that something that cool was in these waters. Anyways. Anytime I see a realistic video you get a click from me. Even if it's an old one. Any real fisherman has that bug right now in late april/may!!! Yuh feel mehhhh!! Not any lunkers yet but I'm fishin✊💯
Hey Alex hows it going? Paddletail swimbaits are my goal bait of 2019 to use to catch bass. I am using the kind with the ridges on them. I have some Bass Pro and some strike king brand. I have only used the white/pearl ones so far and nothing has hit them yet. I like those you have there. I have tried fishing them Texas rigged, with a swim bait jighead, swimbait jighead with the underspin, and EWG weighted. I figure like you I will probably get one on the Texas rig but I wanted to try the other ways too. I am going to stick with what i know and persevere until I succeed. Great video. I know it's one of your older ones but there's alot of good information here.
Black nose crappie the same I've caught WTG BRO
These exact swim baits are very good they just need to make em a bit more tougher I've caught crappie with these as well
That's exactly what I do jerk it all the way up and let it fall and if that dont work I jus slowly drag it consistently none stop and booom it's a wrap
It's crazy cuz I was looking to see if anybody had made a video of these exact swimbai
I have 2 packs of these and man let me tell you I texas rig it and weigtless,and start landing em idk I think it's the color and the way its presentation in the water looks but them are some good swim baits I actually got a Male and a female on a bed back to back with these bad boys amd the female broke my lightweight pole
Nice crappie dude.
Sub to my channel guys!!
Ive had my swimbait success in the spring and early to mid fall
