Lefty76 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Does anyone know what the weight of the Keitech Fat Swing 6.8" and 7.8" sizes are? I ask because I need to make sue I have a rod that can handle the weight of the lure + the hook. Thanks Quote
CroakHunter Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I believe both are under 1.75 ounces. I stand corrected. Quote
rtwvumtneer6 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 The 6.8” Keitech Fat Swing Impact has 3 baits per blister pack. This “New” editions to the Fat Swing product line fill a gap for those Trophy hunters who have been waiting patiently. Salt water anglers will find this size appealing due to its size and durability. An individual 6.8 weighs 1.2 oz. The 7.8” Keitech Fat Swing Impact has 2 baits per blister pack. This “New” editions to the Fat Swing is the “Gran-Daddy” of swimbaits. Weighing in at over 1.9 oz. of Salt & Squid infused plastic. This giant size swimbait still maintains the “Perfect” Keitech swimming action. Their words, not mine lol Quote
Big Swimbait Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 I use the Owner Beast Flashy Swimmer with both of these. The 6.8 is 1.2 oz. With the 8/0 it comes in around 1.6 oz. The 7.8 is 1.9 oz. With the 10/0 it is 2.4 oz. 1 Quote

I have not tried it nor have I seen a need for it - yet. When that bait gets bit, there's no doubt. I haven't had an issue with the bait interfering with the hook set using the 8/0. It is almost always time for Mend-it after a decent sized fish. 1 Quote
