Randy, an idea for a video: Lure modifications that are actually costing people fish

[@shanesmith5988]

Good idea!! Hope he does it!?

[@scottvaughn9565]

Pretty cool idea.

Randy, let’s get the wide kick of a keitech and a body roll of a full body swim bait. Genius.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great tip. Have you ever considered asking Megabass to make a custom, soft plastic swimbait to your specifications?

[@manliusduncan5963]

Keitech, Yum, Megabass (your favorite) and 6th sense all make thin profile swim baits. Just use those

[@TheWaymont]

OR, buy an Easy Shiner instead. They already have the thinner body.

[@shanesmith5988]

Randy...i cant cout how many tips you've given me (us) that have IMPROVED my success on the water!!!! You're not afraid to give info or tips that actually help!! My jerkbait fishing has gone to a whole new level with all of your advice! Ive had a ball on my local lakes this Fall & Winter because of you sharing with us!! For that...I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART MY MAN!!!! Keep em coming & keep up the AWESOME WORK!! Tight lines & GOD BLESS Randy!!!!

Thx Shane much appreciated

Isn’t the Keitech Easy Shiner already flat sided?

[@dawnparker2014]

Always informative information. I am a woman angler and do not own nail polish...have to go buy some...lol . Thanks Randy. Tight lines..

[@leepao6302]

you know there's the keitech easy shiner which is flat like that right? why wise a bait for this modification, plus it sounds like you never use "easy shiner" from keitech at all

[@JRhifi]

That exact same rig works fantastically on Walleye here during spring and early summer especially. WIS

Why not use the kietech Easy Shiner?

[@bluegrassbodybuildingfitne406]

Why not just use an easy shiner?

[@terrytresemer2864]

My stance on red is it's a great highlight on everything. I put a red bead on my spinner baits, jig heads are red or have some red on it somewhere even my cranks have additional red at the gills and sometimes red thread or yarn at the hook tie to simulate an injury. Yeah I like red.

[@questor_xl]

That's a very interesting modification. Just looking at it, I can see it's merits over an Easy Shiner for overall action. I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing!👍

[@erichildreth7562]

These jig heads are great, I listened to your advice on another video and got some of these from baitwrx and I painted some of these red. Not sure what the magic is behind red but it works. I will have to try this swimbait modification and as always thanks for sharing this with us Randy!!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I agree but my experience is mostly in the saltwater. Red headed jigs and plugs have caught me lots of fish. I don't know why but red heads with white bodies catch fish from Florida to Costa Rica for me.

[@erichildreth7562]

@@comfortablynumb9342 I know the color red only penetrates the water to a certain depth and fish see colors differently than we do so it must be something that they see and portray as something easy to eat. We have had good luck using red hooks too.

[@coreyeng5985]

Is this a modification you'll do because this is the swimbaits you have or would also do this mod even if you had something like a kidtech easy shiner that's made flat sided?

[@steves9973]

I was wondering the same thing

[@MrHabitat009]

Great video Randy. What’s your thoughts on the ringed ewg hooks Matt was talking about? I know your not a huge fan of ewg but maybe it will be some good info for your other channel

[@randomschmo5778]

That's a great looking swimbait mod. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnbutler307]

Randy thanks again for all the tips you share

[@mikeclark7136]

Maybe try using an exacto knife to get a more precise cut?

[@fish4kbcf]

Keitech makes a bait called an Easy Shiner which has a flatter profile than the standard Fat Impact. For me personally I seem to get more bites now than I do off the standard Keitech. Everyone and their brother throws the standard model. Going a little more finesse is the way to go. Also you can put a “Shad dot” with a sharpie on the side as well. Just another little confidence booster for what little it’s worth.

[@azbassman352]

How about picking up some old school sassy Shad and avoid the trim work lol. I have a bunch of finger nail polish, especially reds.

[@stevencochran4274]

Looks killer great tip

[@stevencochran4274]

It did look good modified

[@stevencochran4274]

I’d like to see it n the tank or pool I bet it b more erotic action

[@secretbassrigs]

Rigging the swimbait on the hook and holding it at the tail with your index finger and thumb, helps keep it straight. I like to use a hot retractable box cutter with a lot of the blade sticking out. The reduction of material on the sides also reduces the surface tension in the plastic, allowing it to have more swimming action.

[@danham3344]

I’ve been subscribed since you were at 10K and I know you get your share of smart asses, but I am asking you this question in all seriousness because you may have a great reason. Why would you not just use the Keitech Easy Shiner, Damiki Armor Shad or Anchovy Shad? They all have the slim profile and paddle tails with great action. I’ve even used them on mini A-Rigs for a very subtle action. Not saying yours doesn’t work but just wondering. Still enjoying this AND your new channel. C’MON “100K”!!

[@charlessaucier3108]

That’s my point too

[@markshannon6639]

Because he just got 6K more views. That's the only reason I can think of.

[@danham3344]

@@markshannon6639 - Like I said, I’m not here to bash Randy or anyone else. I have a ton of respect for him and the price he’s paid to gain his knowledge, so any info that’s FREE is cool with me. He’s already paid for it with, blood, sweat, tears and years. I simply thought there may have been an alternate reason why he didn’t use the baits I mentioned. Thanks and have a great day.

[@markshannon6639]

If he had another reason I would be willing to here it. Not here to bash either just observing what I'm seeing.

[@seatee4770]

Maybe because the fat swing impact has the ribs remaining towards the tail compared to none on the Easy Shiner?? Just a bit more water displacement??

[@CasualBassGuy]

Lol what in the arts and crafts

Thanks A Bunch , Randy !!! Super Duper Juice flowing today !! Does that RED PAINT JOB on the heads work everywhere and all water conditions or is it just a Condition Specific Deal when you do that ???? Thanks again, so much, my friend !!

[@hookedupoutdoors2315]

Why not paint the head and use a easy shiner? It has the flat sides and you don’t have to trim it? You would have the same profile and you wouldn’t have to trim anything?

[@charlessaucier3108]

Randy, with all due respect. Why take so much time to modify one bait when you can just thread on “ez” style shiner swimbait instead of a ribbed one? We all know there’s no round shad in nature. We get that. But these swimbaits were designed to give you more lift for a slower presentation in shallower water. I just feel like if you’re doing all of this and spending so much time modifying one soft plastic… when there’s already great baits out there that do exactly what you’re trying to accomplish…then you’re already spun out.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Everybody seems to be asking this question. The reason is number one I use zoom products. Number two when you cut the plastic, it creates a look that cannot be duplicated with a stock easy shiner.

[@ryanhershman2050]

Very cool, I’m going to have to try this.

[@rickgoheen285]

Love this tip, I’ll be trying it nest time out on the water

[@lourensjoubert8652]

Hi Randy. Thanks as always. Can you please do a video on sinking your own structure? Have you done it? is it worth it? How do you do it? thanks from South Africa

[@johnm2617]

How is the bait going to run correct ! When it was ran through a meat grinder ***

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Like I said, in the video, you have to rig the hook perfectly straight

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Why not just buy a keitech narrow body swimbait and red jig head? I'm all about modifying baits, but not very realistic in this situation, only my opinion.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Because it’s not the same look. The visual look after you cut the plastic that has sold in that appears completely different than on a molded body.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

@@randyblaukatintuitive alright, you talked me into a challenge video between the two baits. Appreciate the constructive feedback and time you put into these efforts sir.

[@corymeyer1162]

hey Randy. cool tip, thanks. seems like a lot of modification on a keitech swing impact that kinda makes it more like a keitech easy shiner, in profile. do you still prefer this over an easy shiner? I've had some good fish on the little 3 inch easy shiner on a 1/8 jighead and prefer it to the swing impact so wondering if it's worth picking some up just to cut them down. anyhow, thanks again for the video.

[@richdowdy4626]

Why not just use a Keitech Easy shiner.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Because it’s not the same action and profile

[@genesis4gz]

Is using the Keitech swing impact (non-fat) version similar to trimming the sides? Or does the flat side make a dofference? Would be great to see some underwater/ tank footage with your ideas, just a thought for your vids/info you give, pretty sure your views would triple, thanks!

[@Fishin480]

They might not last as long because of how much plastic is left but if you want slim try the easy shiners Keitech makes its a slimmer square body boot tail

[@denniswilhoite6715]

The old Mann's Grub had a red jig head

[@samuelsellers3829]

Randy do you know they make a swimming fluke

[@jessecornell8167]

So you basically created an easy shiner with a bigger boot tail. Why do you think you can catch them with a chartreuse stripe on a swimbait but you have said sexy shad is the most overrated color of all time? At least I think that's what I have heard you say.

[@lennymachowski5660]

EASY SHINER FROM SWING IMPACT FAT. WHY? chartruse stripe many times a good idea....even when applied to a hard jerk bait. just rough up the side first with a dish scrub pad

[@at_tro_sizematters]

Randy, could you tell me the name of the shopping icon that you use to get kickbacks per few?

[@ryanh8036]

You totally missed the point bro 😁😁

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

Randy couldn't this be done by just using the easy shiner from kietech or just the regular swing impact not the Fat. Just saying that might not be needed if u can find baits that are almost the same profile ur creating but without destroying the integrity of the bait.

[@LarryAnnen]

Why don’t they just make a mold with flat sides?

[@jamespowellii1191]

Please be honest with your loyal followers. There is ZERO reason to cut up a fat impact style swimbait. There are flat sided SB on the market, Easy Shiner being MY goto when I fish the small SB. Just like the flat sided cranks, would you recommend sanding down those expensive balsa wood cranks to a flat side? Just asking... Love many of your tips, just keep them REAL!!

[@johndrx165]

That is my favorite finesse swimbait head design. It can stand right side up on the bottom.
