[Japanese Anglers' Voice] Keitech Easy Shiner [Review]
Keitech Easy Shiner. Keitech is famous for one of the epoch-making soft lures, Swing Impact. Easy Shiner is another great swimbait by them.
The swimming action is breathtaking. It looks like live bait. Could be more natural than live bait!!
The tail swings perfectly as well as Swing Impact. But this bait also has modest rolling actions and perfect balance. The upper body is made of a lighter material than its belly. Meaning the bait always automatically balances not to turn over.
2", 3", 3.5", 4", 5", and 8". I have never used 5" and 8" but I do love this bait. Could be the best of the best swimbait.
Waki's recommendation.
Jig head rig:
I'd say this bait is made for Jig head rig. Set this on any jig head you like, cast it, retrieve it. You'll catch fish. No rod action is needed. No jerk. No twitch. Let's just reeling. This is the best technique to fully utilize this lure's capability.
2" would be great for panfishing. I'd say the perfect bait for the early summer Crappie.
3", 3.5", and 4" are very versatile. Good for both Freshwater and Saltwater.
Weightless rig.
For Bass fishing, the weightless rig could be a great option for Easy Shiner especially when the fish actively chase baitfish. Easy shiner has enough weight to cast without any weight. Retrieving this right under the water surface in the early summer morning, we can have an exciting bite!
Drop shot rig:
This lure can be used for a drop shot rig. There is a technique called Middle Range Drop Shot Swimming. Unlike other drop shot baits, this lure can be great when it's swimming. No need to stop and shake. Keep make it swimming would be the key to success.
Split shot rig:
Let's rig 2" and 3" for the Split shot rig. When we fish in highly pressured spots, this finesse approach may work great.
Carolina rig:
Easy Shiner on the Carolina rig. Yeah, this lure is a great option for Caroline rig. When I use this for the Carolina rig, I'll use the Steady Retrieving Swimming Method. For the Staying and Drifting technique, other lures like Swing Impact or Craw/Creature type baits would be better. But this lure has the best swimming action, why don't we keep making it swim? Cast and reeling. That's it. Simple. But with Easy Shiner, this simple method can bring a great result.
You would need to make sure...
Easy Shiner is a great lure. But you have to properly rig it. The most important thing is "to set the lure right straight on the hook". If there are any bumps, bulges, or bends, the lure won't produce the great action you want.
