Super User ChrisD46 Posted June 13, 2021 Super User Posted June 13, 2021 What is your favorite swim bait jig head for the small Keitech FAT Swing Impact 2.8 " , Z-Man Shadz 3" , Strike King Rage Swimmer 2.75" , etc. ? I'd prefer a finesse swimbait head with eyes and a quality #1 ~ 1/0 size hook ... Thanks in advance ! Quote
Big Swimbait Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Coolbaits swimbait head. They also make a great underspin. 1 Quote

CrankFate Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 T-Rig, EWG hook, with 2g Bullet Weight. I find the jigs swim better with a spinning rod then a casting rod. Quote

GetFishorDieTryin Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 I like #1s for ES and the swings, but usually I prefer a 1/0 with the 2.8 swing fats. If you have to have eyes the 1/8 VMC Mooneye and the DJ Guppy head are at the top of the list in terms of versatility and both fit the 2.8 great. The Damiki Rig obviously is great for the Damiki rig, but its great for dragging and tightlining as well. Quote

The one with the screwhead has drawn bites from me when I couldn't make a normal paddle tail work. 1 Quote
00bullitt Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 The 2 that I use are the Dirty Jigs Guppy Head if I want more than 1/8oz and the Megabass Okashira Screw Head for 1/8oz. I have never had a need for the 1/16oz. I wish Megabass would make a 3/16 or 1/4oz Screw Head. The Keitech 3" Easy Shiner and Shad Impact is the heat on the screw head though (I actually prefer the Shad Impact as the screw head imparts a great secondary action to the straight tail). The Guppy Head seems to work the best for me on the Fat Swing Impacts as it matches the body profile better than the Okashira head. The Zman Finesse Eyez work really well on the Keitech Easy Shiner and the Zman Slim Swimz. I just wish they made them in the heavier 1/4 or 3/8oz. with a 1/0 hook though. Pic below shows a few options that I use: - VMC Moon Eye in 1/8oz and 1/0 hook (my main Damiki style vertical setup) - Okashira screw head with Reaction Innovations Shiver Shot 3.65 cut to 3" - Okashira screw head with Keitech 3.5" Easy Shiner cut to 3" - Okashira screw head with Keitech 3" Shad Impact 1 1 Quote

GetFishorDieTryin Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 The Okashiras are good, but I think the hook is a little big for the 2.8 in clear water. I like the screw heads are nice, just be aware that the 1/16 causes line twists. Quote
