FOOTHILL RANCH, CA (April 21, 2025) – This year, Ever Green has introduced the Last Ace 103S, a compact addition to its renowned fishing lure lineup. Following the success of the Last Ace 128S, the 4-inch lure has been tailor-made to cater to the evolving demands of bass fishing enthusiasts.
The rising trend of forward-facing sonar (FFS) has inspired innovative fishing techniques, including 'moping' and 'hover strolling,' that help anglers spot and catch fish more effectively. The Last Ace 103S is engineered specifically for power mid-strolling, a method that leverages sonar technology to attract bass lurking beneath the surface. "The Last Ace 103S was designed to perform under these modern techniques," said Martin, an Ever Green representative.
What sets the Last Ace 103S apart is its thoughtful construction. Its unique salt-infused belly is crafted for optimal performance. "The salt composition is evenly dispersed through only the belly half of the Last Ace 103S," Martin explained. "When rigged weightless and power-strolled, it causes the bait to sink horizontally and produce a shimmy akin to an injured baitfish. Its offset weighting is the key.”
Additionally, the lure features an alluring scent throughout, designed to draw fish in further. The combination of a soft belly and tail for fluid movement, coupled with a more durable top section, makes it a sturdy choice for anglers. The lifelike design is accented by raised 3D eyes and a dotted lateral line, contributing to its realistic baitfish appearance. The Last Ace 103S is available in an array of six colors that mimic common prey such as bluegill and shad, making it versatile for various fishing environments.
For those looking to rig the Last Ace 103S, the options are straightforward yet effective. When paired with a swimbait hook, the bait is designed for slow sinking to enhance its attractivity. "Insert the hook down through the nose, out the belly, and tuck it into the notched back," Martin detailed. This configuration keeps the hook concealed, allowing for easier penetration during strikes, while also ensuring that it can navigate through vegetative waters with minimal hang-ups.
Alternatively, anglers can opt for a jig head, adjusting the weight based on their fishing depth. “A lighter jig allows for mid-column work, while heavier jigs are suited for bottom fishing,” advised Martin. Another intriguing rigging style is the wacky method, where a kahle-style hook is placed sideways through the back of the bait. This enhances the twitching action to simulate a dying baitfish, perfect for attracting lethargic bass.
The design of the Last Ace 103S considers how it interacts with forward-facing sonar. “The unique shape and angle of the tail makes it effortless for anglers to achieve that tantalizing rolling action so popular with FFS,” Martin emphasized, showcasing how refined design meets modern fishing tech.
New this year, the compact size of the Last Ace 103S is indicative of Ever Green’s commitment to meeting angler expectations. Martin asserted, "With a highly detailed finish, authentic movement, and the ability to work seamlessly with FFS, it is poised to become a staple for serious bass anglers."
