| Ever Green’s Last Ace 103S enters as a new bite-sized option for forward-facing sonar enthusiasts. |
| FOOTHILL RANCH, CA (April 21, 2025) – On the heels of last year’s introduction of the Last Ace 128S, Ever Green comes to town with the slightly smaller Last Ace 103S.The advent of forward-facing sonar (FFS) has hatched numbers of nouveau techniques to tempt fish marked in front of the boat. There’s ‘moping,’ ‘hover strolling,’ and ‘mid-strolling’. And like the Last Ace 103S, Ever Green’s new 4-inch Last Ace 103S is designed for ‘power mid-strolling’ with the aim of enticing the alpha bass in the pack.The Last Ace 103S’s power mid-strolling effect is accomplished by its noticeably up-curved tail design. “The unique shape and angle of the tail makes it effortless for anglers to achieve that tantalizing rolling action so popular with FFS,” said Martin. |

| Its action is further enhanced by a specialized salt constitution. “The salt composition is evenly dispersed through only the belly half of the Last Ace 103S,” said Martin. “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.” Infused with baitfish scent throughout, the Last Ace 103S has an exceptionally flexible belly and tail, while the denser top yields exceptional durability around the hook. Cosmetically, fish will appreciate the Last Ace 103Ss raised, 3D “real eyes” and dotted lateral line, which accentuate its authenticity. Available in 6 baitfish mimicking color patterns, this lure can represent forage ranging from bluegill to shad. |
| RIGGING THE LAST ACE 103SThe slow sinking and exceptionally durable Last Ace 103S can be rigged weightless with a swimbait hook. Downward into the nose, back up through the body, and then slide the hookpoint into the molded notch on the bait’s back. The hookpoint stays hidden but is easily activated by a striking fish. Rigging as such also makes the Last Ace 103S virtually weedless for operating through vegetation.It can also be paired with a jig. Go lighter for working the middle of the water column and heavier if you want to operate near or on the bottom. Long-shanked jigs with quality baitholders work best.Lastly, and most simply, impale the middle of the Last Ace 103Ss back from side to side with a kahle-style hook. Flip it out, let it sink, and twitch it around. Looks like a baitfish taking its last gulp. |
