Keitech Lures – Japan’s Proven Soft Plastics for Irish & UK Waters

Intro

Established in 1996 by Japanese pro angler Kei Hayashi, Keitech has become a benchmark for soft plastics, finesse worms and premium tungsten jig heads. At Emerald Ripple (Ireland) we curate Keitech ranges that consistently catch perch, pike, zander and trout on local canals, rivers and lakes, as well as UK venues. Expect lifelike action at slow retrieve, natural scents, precise moulding and colours that keep bites coming when other lures fail.

Shop by Range

Swing Impact Fat – iconic paddle-tail with a wide rolling body and steady thump; a top choice for pike & zander and big perch.
Easy Shiner – subtle shad with a thin paddle and tight, natural swim; excels on jig heads and dropshot.
Swing Impact – slim profile and higher-cadence vibration; deadly in clear water for pressured fish.
Sexy Impact – ribbed finesse worm for Ned, Wacky and light Texas/Carolina; shines when the bite is tough.
Crazy Flapper – creature bait with pulsing appendages that trigger strikes on the fall; great around cover.
Tungsten Jig Heads – compact, sensitive and eco-forward; improve feel and hook-ups in depth and current.
