Keitech Easy Shiner 2″

Keitech Easy Shiner 2″

The Keitech Easy Shiner 2″ is the perfect imitation of fry. Thanks to its paddle tail and slim body, this soft bait creates enticing turbulence underwater. Its size is ideal for targeting our native perch. The lure can be fished on all modern rigs, such as drop-shot and Texas rig, but also classically on a jig.

The Keitech Easy Shiner 2 is the ultimate micro-swimbait for high-pressure situations. Engineered in Japan, this tiny, high-action swimbait is the go-to choice for anglers specializing in LRF (Light Rock Fishing), canal street fishing, and any scenario where the predator species is keyed into the smallest fry or larval life stages. Written by Gerrys Fishing, this description highlights how Keitech has distilled their legendary swimbait performance into a 2-inch package.

Key Features & Design Performance

• Micro-Thump Tail Action: Despite its minuscule size, the tail is precision-engineered to pulse with a high-frequency, shimmying vibration at the slowest retrieve speeds. It does not spin or roll; it creates a consistent, life-like tail kick that even the most educated perch or wrasse will struggle to distinguish from a real baby baitfish.

• Proportional Finesse Profile: The 2 body perfectly replicates the size of the smallest juvenile perch, roach, and invertebrates. It is designed to be easily inhaled, ensuring that you dont miss those pecking bites that often occur when fish are feeling lethargic or shy.

• Salt-Weighted Stability: Keitech integrates high-density salt into the belly of the bait. For a lure this small, this weight is crucialit ensures the bait tracks horizontally and doesnt get swept away by minor water currents, allowing you to maintain control in challenging urban environments like canal locks.

• Micro-Ribbing: The body features fine, micro-ribbing. This increases the baits surface area, which helps disperse the potent squid scent, and provides a softer texture that predators hold onto for a fraction of a second longergiving you those vital extra milliseconds to set the hook.

Examples of Where to Use It

• Canal & Marina Crevice Hunting: The perfect tool for probing gaps between concrete pilings, under pleasure boats, and along urban harbour walls. When fish are holding tight to vertical structure, the 2 Easy Shiner can be worked slowly into their safe zones.

• LRF (Light Rock Fishing): An essential bait for wrasse, gobies, and pollack in rocky, shallow environments. The 2 size allows you to work the bait over jagged terrain with a much lower chance of snagging compared to larger lures.

• Micro-Dropshotting: When rigged on a dropshot, the 2 Easy Shiner becomes a lethal finesse weapon. A subtle rod-tip movement creates a shimmering, wounded-fish action that is almost impossible for a dormant predator to ignore.

Pro Tip

The Bottom-Tick Technique: Pair the 2 Easy Shiner with the lightest jig head possible (0.5g to 1.5g). Cast it out and let it reach the bottom. Use tiny, rapid vibrating movements of your rod tip to make the bait tick along the substrate. This mimicry of a small fish feeding on the bottom is incredibly effective for perch in canals, as it creates a small, enticing puff of silt that often triggers an immediate, aggressive strike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal hook size for the 2 Easy Shiner?

We recommend using a #8 or #6 fine-wire jig head, or a #8 or #6 finesse offset hook if you are fishing in heavy weeds or rocks. Always prioritize fine-wire hooks, as heavier-gauge hooks will be too bulky and will inhibit the tails subtle, high-frequency swimming motion.

Is the 2 Easy Shiner effective for species other than perch?

Yes, it is a versatile micro-bait. It is highly effective for wrasse, blennies, and pollack in saltwater environments, and it also attracts smaller pike that are actively hunting in the margins. It is the perfect search bait when you are unsure if the fish are active.

Does the squid scent wash off?

No. Keitech compounds the natural squid flavoring directly into the raw plastic paste during the manufacturing process. This means the scent continuously leaches out of the pores of the rubber as it swims, ensuring that the lure maintains its strong, predatory draw throughout the entire duration of your session, even after multiple catches.
