The legend of the Vision 110 gets larger

The 110 Magnum builds upon the overwhelming success of the original Vision 110 in major bass fishing tournaments around the world. The Magnum features a larger profile, and stronger hooks necessary for bigger bass. The 110 Magnum offers up a larger meal to trigger bites from even the most cautious monsters.

Russ Bassdozer says: "With its bigger hooks and weighing 3/4 oz, use the 110 Magnum to selectively try for 'kicker' bass and on windy days when it's difficult to use standard size Vision110 jerkbaits."

On the outside, the Magnum mimics the original 110 - only longer with stronger hooks for bigger bass. Internally, the weighting and balance is entirely different and makes the Magnum a different jerkbait. The 110 Magnum has a specially tuned internal fixed weight balancer system that allows for responsive action and swimming stability.

In the water, the Magnum action is not the same as the original 110. The Magnum does not have the internal weight transfer raceway of the original 110 to roll round weight balls into the tail for enhanced castability, and then roll them forward to tuck into a chamber in the belly of the bait on the retrieve. Instead the Magnum has a fixed, immovable weight construction, so the Magnum waffles a little more when cast. Its trajectory isn’t as stable as the original Vision 110 with the weight transfer system – but that doesn’t mean the Magnum casts poorly. Due to its increased mass, weight and size, the Magnum is bigger and heavier than the original Megabass 110. So it makes up in sheer mass for what it lacks in weight transference on the cast.

Without rolling, moving weights inside, the fixed weight of the Magnum is positioned so it perfectly balances and suspends horizontally. It doesn’t suspend nose down like the original 110. The fixed weight system that makes the Magnum waffle a little on the cast, it also imparts action and fish attraction because the fixed weighting makes the Magnum waffle, side-shift and shuffle when paused and suspended during the retrieve. The Magnum has a neutral balance when it suspends, so any imparted pressure of water movement or line movement, even slightly, can cause the Magnum to react and respond by moving too. This neutrality and responsiveness is a valuable attribute for a suspending jerkbait to have when it’s paused because that’s when many bass decide to strike at it. It’s remindful of live baitfish that still move their body and fins almost imperceptibly but constantly in order to maintain equilibrium even while standing still.

Because of its near-perfect balance and neutral buoyancy when suspended, even the effect of surface chop or wave action can get it to quiver and react; not every jerkbait will do that.

When it comes to darting or jerking action, the Magnum has less erratic action than the original 110. Don’t interpret this the wrong way though, because the Magnum has great jerkbait action, just more muted action than the original 110 – and the Magnum has the apropos lethargic kind of action that really pays off handsomely in colder water; not that the Magnum won’t catch fish in any water temperature, it will.

On the steadier part of a retrieve, the Magnum has a tight wiggle and produces a nice rattling sound. It’s not a super loud rattle; it’s just right and the sound matches swell with the action of this jerkbait.

To command attention from afar, the Magnum is a good “rip bait” because you can really bang on it hard or rip it with your rod but it’s not going to go totally crazy erratic or off the skids in response, even when you bang on it hard. The harder you bang, the wider the side-to-side glide gets on it. Because of the Magnum’s long body, it just glides wider to the side than the original 110. Ripping it hard may not always be what you want to do with the Magnum but it is possible – and sometimes what the fish want.

Most of the time, you’ll want to give it (and in general the action looks better with) more moderate, shorter, choppier strokes to bring the Magnum to life. Those short chops really make it look distressed and that’s precisely what bass look for in a baitfish – and pounce on.

However, the best jerkbait action is no action at all – meaning the pause. Due to its horizontal suspending nature and neutral equilibrium, the Magnum really has super sensitive action and natural reactions even when paused practically doing nothing (which is when most bass grab it). The Magnum will quiver as it comes to rest, and even the smallest or rod movements will vibrate the motionless body.

Because it is so well-balanced and reactive just small little twitches or jerks will do – especially just before or after the pause phase.

With barely noticeable movements of the rod tip, you can get the Magnum to move subtly like a weakened baitfish in the water. With strong pulls or rips of your rod, you can get the Magnum to snap back and forth with a wider darting action.

A steady retrieve will get the Magnum down to 4 feet on 10 lb test. When paused, the Magnum continues giving off a subtle wobble and momentarily suspends almost horizontally, just like a natural baitfish. Then it starts to sink slowly.

How to fish the countdown feature

The 110 Magnum is factory-tuned for a super-slow sink of roughly 1 inch every second. In the field, the rate of fall may vary with line type, line diameter, line belly, distance from the rod tip, water temperature, wind, current, chop, elevation, etc. Use Storm SuspenDot or SuspenStrip stick-on adhesive weights to get the rate of fall you desire.

The Megabass Magnum really starts to prove itself when you start targeting suspended fish at different depths. Say you want to get down 7-1/2 feet - simply count down until your Magnum reaches the targeted depth and then start working the lure. The countdown feature is perfect for bass that are suspended at different levels in the water column. When you reach your target depth, you can work the lure any way you want - fast or slow - and it will tend to stay at the target depth.

How to fish the “deep deadstick”

In addition, the countdown feature is ideal for targeting standing timber, a technique used to great effect on many lakes. Simply cast past the standing cover, jerk the Magnum until it is right next to the cover, then let it fall slowly for at least 10-15 seconds – and do nothing. Many anglers have found that this slow-sink is especially effective in triggering bites in cold-water conditions.
