Megabass Vision 110 FX

This lure post is for you, @NorthernBasser.  Doing my best to point out the fine details of a new lure with photos.

 

I bought one of these last week (pumpkinseed).  I tied it on in preparation for use tomorrow.  This is a relatively new version that has some interesting features, that I just now noticed.

 

The front lip (which some have commented here about being too brittle and breaking) folds up and down on a hinge.  The concept is that it folds up when casting for less resistance, allowing longer casts.  It folds down into the swimming position when being used just like a regular vision 110.  Megabass refers to it as Moving Lip Technology that they have a patent on it.

 

Additionally, there are dual tungsten weights inside the lure for casting position and swimming position.  Megabass calls this their Moving Balancer System, which also has a patent.

 

I took some photos of the lip in the cast and swim position, in addition to the back of the package.

 

The thought is that these features give the jerk bait a more "erratic" retrieve.

 

Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. That puppy must've ran another $50 with all that tech. 😅

 

Hopefully this guy doesn't also have expensive taste!

I gave it about an hour this morning and caught 2 largemouth on it.  They were both about 15-16 inchers.  No pike on it, thankfully.

 

I can definitely see that it has more darting action than a standard vision 110 because of these features.  I think the folding lip actually does let you cast it farther too.  I was able to really sail that thing out there.

 

So far, so good.  I'll give another try later next week on bigger water for smallmouth/walleye.

Definitely a different action than a standard 110. I had one that caught me some really nice fish before something happened to it (lost, broke - can’t remember). The only other one I have hasn’t produced the same, yet.

Fished a FX for a season. Not sure how it compared to the standard 110 really but it caught a lot of fish and the bill held up fine. Great looking color choice and bait. Good luck!
