I like Revenge swimbait heads
I use & like the strike king heads with Trokar hook sold @ academy
I have been using Dirty Jigs Swimbait heads in 3/16 for most applications
Picasso smart mouth 2/0
This for fats
The Outkast swimbait head in 3/0 hook is the best I've used for Fats and Shiners.

Videos on YouTube show that Keitechs run truer with a keel weight swimbait hook. I've always used a simple round head jig.

For the 3.8 or larger Keitech, I really like the Z-Man HeadlockZ or the Redfish Eye. Both have great hooks and keepers. I'm really partial to the HeadlockZ, even though at first glance it looks kinda plainjane. No fancy paint job or eyes. It's just pure function. What makes it special is the molded bait keeper on the hook shank and the choices you have in hook size and head weight. The keeper holds awesome on conventional or ElaZtec plastic, and it doesn't tear up a soft bait like a Keitech after one or two fish, like a typical lead or wire barb. Head sizes from 1/8 ounce to 3 ounces, and hook size from 3/0 to 8/0. I usually use a 3/0 or 4/0 in a 1/8, 1/6 or 1/4 ounce size for a 3.8 Keitech. I also like how the numerical weight is cast into the head, so I don't have to guess what weight I'm grabbing.

For the smaller Keitechs, I like the Trout Eye with a 2/0 or Trout Eye Finesse with a 1/0. Note these are saltwater grade jigheads with heavy duty Mustad hooks designed for speckled trout and redfish.

We got an antique store here that a guy has a booth in back and he makes some homemade ones up to 3/8oz. and they are great and CHEAP.

Kustom Kicker jigs makes a power lock jig and it's really helped extend the life of my Keitechs. I just ordered 100 because they multipurpose for me as a darter head as well.
+1 on the 2k powerlocks
