i like the rerange for a little warmer water as stated. ive caught them on a bunch of the ones you mentioned , pointer, strike king, shimano etc. they all work but the vision 110 still seems the best to me.espsecially in colder water it seems to outproduce them all. theyve been around a long time and if they didnt outproduce the others they wouldnt sell for the price they do.
