It is used for freshwater bass fishing, often Texas-rigged with a 3/0-4/0 EWG hook or on a swimbait jig head, and is effective as a swim jig trailer or on an Alabama rig. The bait features a two-tone salted plastic construction with a tapered ringed body and center rigging line for consistent swimming action at any retrieve speed, but anglers note it is soft and tears easily, typically lasting 1-2 fish per bait.","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-keitech-fs38429-fat-swing-impact-tennessee-shad-3-8","brand":"Keitech","condition":"new","product_category":"Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Fishing > Fishing Tackle > Fishing Baits & Lures > Artificial Soft Plastic Baits","material":"Soft Plastic","item_weight_unit":"lb","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-keitech-fs38429-fat-swing-impact-tennessee-shad-38-7112502.jpg?v=1775885055&width=823","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1781228299729-0","url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-keitech-fs38429-fat-swing-impact-tennessee-shad-38-7112502.jpg?v=1775885055&width=823","width":494,"height":716,"alt_text":"New Keitech FS38429 Fat Swing Impact Tennessee Shad, 3.8\" product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"mood":["clean","utilitarian"],"style":["minimalist","product studio"],"colors":[{"color":"gray brown","context":"main body with speckled accents"},{"color":"darker gray/black","context":"small speckle flecks on body"},{"color":"paler gray","context":"paddle tail appears slightly lighter"},{"color":"white","context":"background"}],"labels":["soft plastic lure","paddle tail","ribbed body","tapered cylindrical shape","rounded paddle tail","small lateral fins/ridges","translucent plastic","speckled finish","molded seam line","single isolated product","white background","even studio lighting","centered horizontal orientation"],"flat_lay":false,"confidence":"high","description":"Single soft plastic paddle tail fishing lure photographed on a white studio background showing ribbed, tapered body and rounded paddle tail with speckled translucent finish.","season_occasion":["fishing","outdoor"],"complementary_products":[]},"variant_ids":["variant-1781228299729-0"]}],"price":"8.49 USD","sale_price":"5.89 USD","availability":"in_stock","group_id":"10224019341592","listing_has_variations":"false","variants":[{"sku":"KEITECH-4560262573934-NEWOVERSTOCK","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-keitech-fs38429-fat-swing-impact-tennessee-shad-3-8?variant=51915767709976","image":{"id":"img-variant-variant-1781228299729-0","url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-keitech-fs38429-fat-swing-impact-tennessee-shad-38-7112502.jpg?v=1775885055&width=823","width":494,"height":716,"alt_text":"New Keitech FS38429 Fat Swing Impact Tennessee Shad, 3.8\" variant image","position":1,"variant_ids":["variant-1781228299729-0"]},"price":{"value":8.49,"currency":"USD"},"title":"New Keitech Fs38429 Fat Swing Impact Tennessee Shad, 3.8\"","option1":"Default","sale_price":{"value":5.89,"currency":"USD"},"variant_id":"variant-1781228299729-0","availability":{"status":"in_stock","available":true}}],"item_group_title":"New Keitech FS38429 Fat Swing Impact Tennessee Shad, 3.8\"","size_system":"US","gender":"unisex","shipping":"Free shipping on orders over $75 across the USA.
