What plastics are you guys using on neck-breakers? I currently use Keitechs and while catching plenty of fish on them, sometimes it’s one fish per bait. I do repair them as much as possible but just looking for other more durable baits.

I’ve been using the same 5 bags of Z-Man plastics for close to nine months now on cheap swing heads.

I also use Z-man plastics. To make your bodies last longer, whatever you use, pinch the barb down on your Jighead. These Bass have bony mouths and digging you lure back out of the Bass causes the most damage. I add a drop of Gel style superglue to hold the body onto the Jighead securely. Doing this can get you 100 + Bass on one Swimbait.
I use 5 inch Chattershads and Four inch Razor Shads on 1/4 to 1/2 ounce Jigheads.Any smaller and I get too many baby Bass.

I love using the 3.3 in Keitechs but I also agree that they break super easily. Haven't tried the z-man plastics, but I like the Strike King Rage Swimmer Salt Water plastics. They're pretty durable and have the same shape as a Keitech. The movement is a tiny bit stiffer but it's still really smooth and swims good.
