The Lineup

KTX Baits

Proprietary soft-plastic profiles designed around Gulf Coast fishing styles.

First KTX Proprietary Profile

Swimmin' Spike 4.25"

Recommended hook size: 1/0 to 2/0

The Swimmin' Spike is the first proprietary KTX branded lure. Its dense profile supports castability and durability, and the concentric body helps it swim true even when a hook is not perfectly centered. Twitch it to mimic fleeing shrimp, shad, or mullet — or dead stick it and let the tail do the work.

Applications

Dead sticking, sight casting, and Ned rigging for Redfish or Flounder.

Swimmin' Spike XL 5.75"

Recommended hook size: 3/0 to 4/0

The larger variation of the original Swimmin' Spike. Altered proportions deliver increased tail movement and an improved sink rate while retaining the castability of the original. Kyle calls it his Rat Tail Replacement!

3.5" Shimmy

Recommended hook size: 1/0 to 3/0

A more natural presentation with an easy-to-eat profile and a wider nose that helps with casting. The quick, tight paddle-tail action triggers reaction strikes even when fish are being picky.

Recommended Rigging

Standard jig head

5" & 6" Traditional Rat Tails

The classic rat-tail-style fluke familiar to Gulf Coast bay anglers — offered in KTX colorways. Two sizes to match the conditions.
