Keitech Crazy Flapper

[Hogsticker]

Got on the water this morning, searched my bag and realized I left all my Easy Shiners at home! Had a package of 3.6 Crazy Flappers so I stuck one on my 3/0 swimbait jig head. Separated all the appendages and flung her out. 1st cast, engaged the reel, and watched my line start swimming away seconds after splash down. All morning I was hooking up like every 3 to 4 casts. Fish wouldn't leave this thing alone, hitting it on the drop more often than not. This is a great alternative to a paddle tail. Caught largemouth, smallies, trout, and even had a 7 lb walleye smoke it while I was stroking it off the bottom. I'd crawl it, burn it, twitch it, yo yo it, didn't seem to matter. This bait is an attention getter for sure. Action packed. Went through the whole pack in about 6 hours, but it's all I threw the entire day, and a day I had. Bass as big as 4 pounds, and as little as 4 inches. Was using my new Daiwa SV103 and had a blast. I highly recommend trying these baits if you haven't already. You really can't fish it wrong, just experiment with your retrieve and hang on tight!

Good to hear. I picked up 2 packs of them awhile back but haven't had the chance to try them out

Fish love them. I've caught trout, bass and catfish all on the trig fishing those.

AHHHHH now i regret not buying the ones i had in my hand at DSG the other night!  guess i'll be going back....

I've tried shaky head and trig and couldn't buy a bite with them.  May have to try swimming the ones I have left.

Yep. Swim em. Creep it along bottom, speed it up and kill it. If you want to fish it along bottom, rather than jigging it, try dragging it. Pull it right along the bottom to get all those appendages moving. Work it like a fluke in deeper water and then stroke it up and let it flutter down. It should get even better once the water warms a bit and the fish get a little more active. Good luck

I have a pack of the littlest ones and when rigged on a small jighead and cast into a creek pool the sun fish and minnows just swarm it, nipping all the limbs if I let them.  I have never gotten one in front of a bass, but as soon as the grasshoppers make their appearance I am going to fish them hard.

Id imagine itd be badass on a wobblehead/bifflehead on a rocky bottom

I use them on a jig rig and have really good success with them. I wouldn't say they outfish anything from Rage, Gambler, Paca, (insert whoever you want). 

The one thing I really like it they have a bigger profile than all the similar baits in the class so they actually have a reason to exist.
