BasshunterJGH Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Megabass are so expensive though... How come there so much? High quality, great colors, and they catch fish. I don't own any but I know they work! Quote
fisherrw Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Still though 25 is a little much.. If I lost that I would through a tantrum. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Still though 25 is a little much.. If I lost that I would through a tantrum. Ya I agree. Heard they have a problem with the bills breaking. I'm sticking with pointers for now at least. Quote
Hogsticker Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 You guys are missing out on so many great smallie slayers in this thread! Spro McStick 95 Duo Realis 100,float and suspend Ima Flit 100 - Everyone should own at least one My home run hitter the 2nd half of 2014 was the Yo Zuri 3DB jerkbaits. When I went catching bronze backs on it I was hauling in some healthy rainbows and German Browns Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 10, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 10, 2015 Ya I agree. Heard they have a problem with the bills breaking. I'm sticking with pointers for now at least. Last one I had was a 110 magnum (nearly $30 a bait). The bill just fell off during the retrieve at Table Rock (clear water so I'm 100% sure it never hit a thing). Never touched anything on the cast or the retrieve, I just went to twitch it and it popped to the surface. I assumed I'd caught my front hook on the line, I wish that's all it was. I can't buy a $25 bait that mysteriously falls apart. If I smack a rock on a cast and break it, fine, I'll eat that one for bad cast, but falling apart doing what I'm supposed to do with it? 2 Quote

Take it back to the retailer for exchange or send it to Megabass. I have never had an issue with the Ito Vision 110 or any brand other than Smithwick. Smithwick or the retailer have replaced lures without any argument. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 11, 2015 Super User Posted February 11, 2015 Still though 25 is a little much.. If I lost that I would through a tantrum. Academy, Luck E Strike, and Spro make cheaper alternatives you can try. I recommend the Academy H20's because they don';t need any tuning, adjustments, or hooks. For the price you can't beat them.

Wasn't in the mood to argue with the folks at BPS (didn't keep my receipt) and it wasn't worth mailing to Megabass and potentially dealing with the same issue repeatedly. I'm really satisfied with the LES and H2O jerkbaits that have a really similar profile as the 110's, I just need them to make a bigger version to match the 110 magnum. Quote

I'm really satisfied with the LES and H2O jerkbaits that have a really similar profile as the 110's, I just need them to make a bigger version to match the 110 magnum. I agree on both points. Had a 110 blow up on me once and it's not worth me shipping to mb so they can "look" at it and come up with their own conclusion. I will stick with the other brands Quote
PAGreg Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Lucky Craft pointer 78. Going to give the 100 a try this year. Quote
fisherrw Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Is that the deep diver version? Quote
Super User Angry John Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 Luck-e-strike DUO and lc pointers. If that does not get it done I go with a different bait Quote
Brian Brazier Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Spro Mcrip, Mcstick, X Raps, Shadow Rap, Megabass Vision 110 and Ito, I have never had a Megabass bill fall or break off, I have 12 or so, if one does I have delt with MB before, and they were top notch. I am having trouble finding a MB Vision 110 color for a clear lake that I fish allot, anyone have a suggestion? I was thinking a French Pearl, either the French Pearl Oblique or Sexy. There are allot of Rainbow Trout, some Kokanee, Sunfish, and Yellow Perch n the lake, and they I know they like yellow perch. Any assistance is appreciated. Quote

Super User OkobojiEagle Posted February 27, 2015 Super User Posted February 27, 2015 I haven't seen a Vision 110 in a ghost bluegill pattern... oe Quote
Brian Brazier Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Road Warrior, I will check that color out. I also thought I had a Western Clown, but I dont, so I will have to pickup one of those as well Quote
fisherrw Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 What color do you like? Of the Stacey 90? Quote
Brian Brazier Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Dont know how I forgot to add the jerkbait that has caught my biggest Smallies, Koppers Livetarget Smallmouth. Smallmouth are carnivorous fish, and when they spawn they create their own forage. I have caught my 2 biggest Smallies the one in my avatar a 4+lb, and a 3.5lb, during and post spawn, but it works year round. Quote
