Product description
The 3.5" Easy Shiner from Keitech is an extremely versatile soft soft lure that combines the best features of two legendary lures: the sleek profile of the Shad Impact and the seductive shovel tail of the Swing Impact. This combination creates a unique, rolling and side-to-side action underwater that entices even the most wary predators to strike. At approximately 8.5 cm in length, it’s the perfect size for successfully fishing for bass year-round, but it’s also ideal when bass and walleye are in the same spot and both can be effectively targeted. Thanks to the special rubber compound infused with squid flavor, fish hold onto the lure longer after striking, significantly improving your hook-up rate! As you’ve come to expect from Keitech, a huge selection of colors is available so you have the right solution for every condition.
Advantages
-
Great action
The flat body rolls and flanks in time with the shovel tail. This dual action creates strong pressure waves and visual stimuli that hardly any predator can resist.
-
Intense squid scent
The rubber compound is heavily salted and impregnated with a potent squid scent. This ensures high acceptance among fish and gives you more time for a successful hookset.
-
Versatile rigging
Thanks to the recesses on the belly and back, the Easy Shiner can be perfectly rigged on various finesse rigs. Of course, it also performs outstandingly on a classic jig head.
Baiting Techniques
-
Jighead
The classic and simplest method. You can simply let the bait drift or guide it in jerks along the bottom (jigging) to catch zander and big perch.
-
Drop Shot Rig
Perfect for presenting the lure weightlessly above the bottom and letting it dance almost in place. An unbeatable method when the fish are particularly cautious and passive.
-
Carolina Rig
With this setup, you can present the lure very slowly and at a defined distance above the bottom. Perfect for days when the fish are sluggish and prefer subtle lure presentation.
FAQ
-
How do I choose the right color for the Easy Shiner?
As a rule of thumb: Choose natural colors (e.g., Ayu, Wakasagi) for clear water and sunny days. In murky water or low light, eye-catching, high-contrast colors (e.g., Chartreuse, Fire Tiger) are often more effective.
-
What makes the Easy Shiner’s action so special?
It’s the combination of the rolling, side-to-side movement of the flat body and the high-frequency action of the shovel tail. Other soft plastics often just wiggle their tails, while the Easy Shiner works with its entire body.
-
For which target fish is the 3.5“ Easy Shiner the right choice?
The 3.5” Easy Shiner is a true all-purpose weapon. Its size of approx. 8.5 cm is perfect for targeted perch fishing all year round. At the same time, it’s one of the best lures when you suspect both zander and perch are present at a spot.
