Ebare says he has tested the Final Copy bait at Lake Fork and Sam Rayburn, and is catching giant bass. He emphasizes the importance of a seasonal approach, discussing how he targets big bass in each season.

The magnet is strong allow skipping the bait under docks without the hook swinging around. The magnet inside has been increased in strength and has heat shrink around it so it does not come out. A weight in the front makes this bait unique and allows it to run deeper than other swimbaits.

Ebare recommends having that having a good attitude and right outlook are important, just like having the write setup.
