TheBaitMonkey Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I couldnāt find a thread for them or any posts so I figured Iād start one. Did anyone get them in the 2025 Megabass lucky bag to try out?Ā Ā It sounds like the full lineup of them will be released in early summer but it seems like it fills a niche so I just āhadā to order a few from eBay.Ā Ā The new bill on them looks interesting (added a few pics) - theyāre supposed to have an even more erratic side to side action than the regular 110 but they stay in the 2-3 ft zone.Ā Ā I plan on using it over the shallow grass patches here up north where the regular 110 and the shallower running jr both went too deep. I also imagine they will be killer up north on the big flats for smallies!Ā Ā Thoughts on em?Ā Ā What I found online about it - Ā It is a familiar sight to see āONETENā tied to the end of the lines of top finishers at U.S. bass tournaments, European seabass (bar) fishing competitions, and various events in China and other parts of Asia. Angler of the Year 2021, Brandon Palaniuk is one such angler.Ā A ONETEN master of systematic jerking, the last sanctuary he wants to conquer is the one-foot zone just below the surface. Yuki Ito has created a special ONETEN to take Brandon's jerkbait approach to the next level. Its name is the ONETEN SR.Ā The action starts up immediately upon landing on the water from the moment you put your finger on the reel handle knob, triggering a bite at the water landing point. The maximum swimming depth has been thoroughly suppressed, while the dart distance to the left and right has been expanded. The dart distance in the water that can be moved with a single stroke of the rod action is the best in the ONETEN series. In addition, when the rod is held up and a short stroke twitch is made by the instantaneous loosening of line slack, many acrobatic actions such as ārise-up trajectoryā toward the water surface, āroll flutteringā and āfluttering and dartingā by fluttering the abdomen, etc. occur. In other words, ONETEN SR is a rising special that produces the most diverse bite patterns in the shallowest areas just below the water's surface, dramatically expanding the feeding zone. The outstanding fish response can also be seen on the live scope. 5 Quote
Big Swimbait Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I got one in my Lucky Box and visted The Hook Up Tackle in AZ this past week & grabbed a few more. These are great for fishing grass that's 2 or 3 feet below the surface. I think they will also be the ticket for fishing tree tops/brush piles that are the same depth under the surface. 1 Quote

Have you been able to test them on the water? Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted February 25 Super User Posted February 25 I could definitely use some of these for the fall fishing above those shallow weed patches that haven't pulled back yet.Ā 1 Quote
TheBaitMonkey Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 A few looks at the bill differences between the regular 110 vs SR. The hooks are also a little heftier (still katsuages); Iām interested to see if these hooks would be good replacement 110 hooks in the summer to help it get closer to suspending in the warmer water 6 Quote
TheBaitMonkey Posted Wednesday at 12:51 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 12:51 AM Iāve been able to get out 4 times now to toss these and threw a regular 110 alongside to compare over the past couple of days. They have more side to side darting action than the 110; maybe the cup in the lip causes that? There were times where it nearly turned around it looked like, going past 180 degrees when enough slack line was tossed back at it. Ā They are definitely slow float, Iād say a foot every 4 seconds or so. The regular 110 was suspending nearly perfectly in the same water and a much slower float. Itās right after ice out here so Iām guessing the water temp was in the 40ish degree range at the surface on the north side of the lake I was fishing. I ended up putting a little bit of lead wire on the front hook of the SR to make the float rate a little slower. As the water warms will definitely need to add more to it. Ā I wasnāt out using it with the scope (just from shore) so I wasnāt sure of the depth it was truly getting down to, but it was definitely shallower than the regular 110 as that one kept coming back with snot grass on it, where the SR was mainly clean.Ā Ā TLDR - overall, I dig it and it should do well over the grass in the summer months and continue to produce going into the spring. It will have its place. It also out fished a jighead mooch minnow I had with me, but in fairness I tossed the SR moreĀ 2 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted Wednesday at 02:32 PM Super User Posted Wednesday at 02:32 PM Cool bait. I will probably end up with a few. The thing I want to know..... How does it compare to the 110jr? Looks like it runs at a similar depth. Is the action different?Ā Will the bigger profile of the regular 110 be better?Ā I have had such good luck with 110jr that I'm wondering if I need it. Quote

Bass Rutten Posted Wednesday at 09:04 PM Posted Wednesday at 09:04 PM Baitmonkey luring us in once again! Thanks to this thread I'm preparing a bunch of items for a spring selloff for funds that will be "re-purposed". This jerk could be a nice addition for the shallow Florida waters I fish. What line are you using? Quote

Is the action different?Ā Will the bigger profile of the regular 110 be better?Ā I have had such good luck with 110jr that I'm wondering if I need it. Was out today and tested it vs the 110 jr - the SR was usually in the 2-2.5ft zone and the jr would get to the 3-3.5ft zone with my setup. Was using 14lb Samurai fluro with a small Nishine snap (size #0), with the front split ring line ties removed from the baits, in 47 degree water temps.Ā Ā With some lead wire on the front hook the SR was basically hitting the 2.5-3ft zone consistently. I would say the actions are similar but the SR is slightly more erratic, by that I mean it goes slightly further side to side and I noticed on scope it seemed the bait would jump up in the column from time to time even using the same jerk cadence. Not sure if the cupped lip causes that but I didnāt notice it with the jr. (I didnāt fish the jr as much, though) Ā Is it worth getting if you have a bunch of jrās? Hard to say, but it has caught fish for me and casts better than the jr due to its weight. The hooks are also an upgrade too IMO vs the small jr hooks 2 Quote
