4.5" Easy Shiner (KEITECH)

The 4.5" Easy Shiner from Keitech combines the flat body of the Shad Impact with the lively paddle tail of the Swing Impact. At approximately 11.5 cm, this model perfectly bridges the gap between the 4- and 5-inch versions, making it a versatile size that appeals to nearly every predatory fish. This soft lure impresses with a stable yet enticing swimming action. The intense squid scent ensures that predators hold the lure in their mouths longer after the bite, significantly increasing your hook-up rate!

Advantages

• Stable swimming action
  The special soft plastic compound, heavily salted at the bottom, gives the lure a low center of gravity. This allows it to swim very steadily without tilting to the side, creating a rolling action that makes predatory fish aggressive.
• Huge color selection for every situation
  Whether in clear water, murky conditions, or at dawn/dusk—thanks to the huge selection of colors, you’ll always find the most effective shade for your water and the current conditions.
• Well-thought-out design for versatile rigs
  Thanks to the recesses on the back and belly, the Easy Shiner can be fished perfectly on offset hooks for weed-free rigs or classically on a jig head. This makes it a true all-purpose weapon.

Rigging Techniques

• Jighead Rig
  The classic and simplest method. Mount the Easy Shiner on a suitable size 3/0 or 4/0 jighead. This allows you to simply reel it through the mid-water column or jig it classically along the bottom to outwit perch, zander, and pike.
• On a wide-gap hook
  Ideal for fishing in obstacle-laden waters. Mounted on an offset hook, the lure glides weed-free through water lily fields or sunken wood where fish hide.
• As a trailer on a chatterbait or spinnerbait
  Thanks to its slender profile and active paddle tail, the Easy Shiner is an ideal trailer. It adds volume and a natural swimming action, providing extra appeal.

FAQ

1. For which target fish is the 4.5“ Easy Shiner particularly well-suited? With a length of approx. 11.5 cm, the 4.5” Easy Shiner is a fantastic all-around lure for nearly every predatory fish. It is particularly effective for large perch and zander, but is also very popular with pike.
    
2. Why is the lure heavily salted and flavored?
   The salt in the soft plastic compound not only improves its swimming action but, together with the squid flavor, also mimics the taste of real prey fish. Predatory fish hold the lure in their mouths longer after biting, giving you more time for a successful hookset.
    
3. Which colors are particularly effective?
   That depends heavily on the water and lighting conditions. In clear water, natural patterns like ‘Ayu,’ 'Wakasagi,‘ or 'Silver Flash Minnow’ are often unbeatable. In murky water or under overcast skies, you should opt for high-contrast colors like ‘Chartreuse Shad’ or bold colors like ‘Fire Tiger’ to increase visibility.
