First Impression Strike King Final Copy Swimbait (New release!)
I wanted to give a quick update. I filmed this video last week and just got back out again today to fish with this lure. I caught three bass on it in less than an hour. All three were hooked up great and the lure is performing very well. I definitely plan on ordering more of these in the future! The lure has held up very well with the first three bass caught so far. I’m using the 4.75” pearl color one.
Used the magdraft a bit, they are my highest producing for numbers out of the bunch of 6 in swimbaits on the market. However, my favorite is probably the loaded bass mafia daingerous. It is pretty similar to the magdraft, but with the line through it lasts longer for me. Maybe I had back to back duds on the magdraft, but the internal system kept ripping out the bait. I wasn't using a crazy set up either. A heavy modfast rod that I use often for chatterbaits. Another bait I am interested in, but haven't tried, is the Shadtron LT by zman. I am sure that thing will last forever being a line through and made of elaztech.
Berkley cullshad is more of slow roll retrieve just like the magdraft, harnessed swimbaits are notorious for needing to be retrieved slowly and that will mitigate the side rolling. Hence the whole idea behind the final copy and why it is so heavy so that it can withstand faster retrieves.
Your right about the cull shad, they run a little sideways. That strikeking is way better at swimming level.
I actually took the hook holder and hook off my recalled 6inch Berkley cullshad and put it on this and its pure 🔥. Sinks fast and and easier hook ups. Plus the hook lock piece allows u to put the hook back.
Strike King Final Copy! My first time trying this newly released lure. I did not get any bites, but I think this one is a winner.
Love your videos…
