The Megabass VISION 110 jerkbait was introduced in the fall of 2000 and quickly became a favorite among American anglers. Designed by Yuki Ito specifically for anglers in the United States, this jerkbait has set a new standard in its category. It has gained popularity among touring professionals and is often their preferred choice when it comes to jerkbaits. The VISION 110 stands out with its unique profile, darting action, balancing system, and realistic color patterns, all of which contribute to its exceptional fish-catching ability. The inclusion of the tungsten Multi-Way Moving Balancer System (PAT.) not only enhances its action and creates eye-catching flashes, but also allows the VISION 110 to be cast with great accuracy. This deadly jerkbait is equipped with three Katsuage out-barb treble hooks, which are designed to improve hook-setting success rates when using power bait.

Features of the Megabass VISION 110 Jerkbait
The VISION 110's construction is a marvel of fishing lure design, blending advanced Japanese innovation with Yuki Ito's expertise. Its aerodynamic shape allows for optimal casting distance and precision, making it ideal for targeting areas where fish may be holding or feeding. The lure's internal balancing system not only imparts a lifelike wiggle on the retrieve but also ensures that it can be worked with both aggressive “jerks” and subtle “twitches” to appeal to different fish moods.
The color pattern known as Elegy Bone mimics the appearance of a baitfish exceptionally well, for days when water clarity is high or fish are particularly focused on realistic presentations. Moreover, the reflective qualities of the lure work to draw attention in various light conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the significance of the VISION 110's unique profile, darting action, balancing system, and color patterns?
A: The VISION 110's unique profile, darting action, balancing system, and color patterns are all carefully designed to attract fish and increase catch rates. The profile mimics the appearance of a real baitfish, while the darting action imitates the erratic movements of injured prey. The balancing system ensures the lure stays stable during retrieves, and the realistic color patterns make it highly convincing to predatory fish.
Q: What is the multi-way moving balancer system and how does it enhance the VISION 110's performance?
A: The multi-way moving balancer system in the VISION 110 is made of tungsten and provides several benefits. It enhances the lure's action, creating eye-catching flashes that attract fish. Additionally, it allows for more accurate casting, improving the angler's ability to place the lure in desired target areas.
Q: Are the treble hooks on the VISION 110 effective in hook-setting?
A: Yes, the VISION 110 is equipped with three Katsuage out-barb treble hooks that are specifically designed to improve hook-setting success rates. These hooks are designed to penetrate the fish's mouth and securely hold on, increasing the chances of a successful hookset.
Fishing Techniques for the VISION 110
The VISION 110 jerkbait excels in a range of conditions, but particularly shines when used with a stop-and-go retrieve. This strategy involves jerking the rod tip to induce the lure's “darting” motion, then allowing it to pause and “suspend” which often triggers strikes from following fish. Anglers can experiment with different retrieval speeds and rhythms to match the activity level of their target species. It's also important to pay attention to water temperature, clarity, and forage species when selecting the Megabass VISION 110 for your fishing excursions.
