There is no doubt they are great jerkbaits, but there are a lot of others that are just as good now IMO

[@ivanradi4275]

I really like your honest approach to a very controversial topic and I agree with you. As in this sport and others, many people tend to buy expensive things thinking that they will improve when in reality the one with the most expensive equipment does not always obtain the best results. Making an analogy, which I heard some time ago and it says: "the problem is not in the bow, it is the Indian."

[@MattStefanFishing]

Well said

Smithwick thats my bait. Killed them for over 15 years with the sunburst blueribbed and crawfish colors. Never hear about that bait on any channel and it catches fish. Great vid

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@harrisonnelson1064]

I think the big thing that holds the mega bass vision 110s still ahead of the others is the bunch of colors that you can choose from. And with a jerk air color can really play a factor so it is great to have so many options. From what I’ve seen no company has close to the same amounted options

[@MattStefanFishing]

they have an insane amount of colors

[@stephanelavoie2258]

I began fishing more seriously last year and didn’t know about megabass vision 110 , so i was using only The brand Rapala . I quickly found that it was catching fish but it was the only thing i know . Then i saw video of Randy Blaukat who is an intense user of megabass vision collection . Now i have 5/6 vision 110 of all sizes, i dont find they catch more fish and are more fragile than the Rapala , talking about the front lip and paint ! You and Randy are one of the best KZbin teachers out there! THANK YOU 🙏🏻. Ps : I think Randy is pretty pump up about the new megabass X Nanahan ….. smaller ! 😉

[@williamwhitaker2928]

Mr. Stefan, I too have an arsenal of jerk baits- Lucky Craft, Jackel, Rapala - as well as an assortment of 110s and 110 juniors. In my experience these baits have the least drift on the pause which differentiates them in very cold water where long pauses and less vigorous jerks seem to match the bass metabolism. The stability of the bait suspended, not drifting up or down seems to magnify its effect when it is ultimately jerked in those conditions. Also in cold water as an added bonus I have caught many very large crappie in a lake not renowned for numbers or size of that species. When the water warms up and the pace of the retrieve can be increased the advantage of this over others decreases dramatically although the silent 110 is still my go to in tough conditions.

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

I agree with this opinion. Higher water temperatures all JBs are more equal, this difference are becoming more obvious and recognisable when water temperatures drop below 10*C.

[@MattStefanFishing]

very well said

[@huntergroves2426]

The 6th sense provoke is my go-to. It seems they catch fish when others wont....great hooks, good colors, cast a mile, a bit larger profile, and 1/2 price of the megabass

[@MattStefanFishing]

I need to check them out

[@Gene_Parmesan]

Hank Cherry, a Berkley guy, won the 2020 classic on a Megabass. Hard to argue its not worth the extra money when pros pick it over their own sponsors baits.

[@MattStefanFishing]

True. But he also won the 2021 Bassmaster Classic fishing the Berkley Stunna Jerkbait instead of the Megabass Vision 110

[@douglasspickler4925]

Matt, you are spot on with your thinking. I have been fishing for many years and have a collection of jerk baits. A favorite technique. I have a box of vision 110 and like them very much but I also have old Bomber long A's that I like as well. Some of those I have lead wire on the hooks, others with suspend dots/strips. So just like a mechanic you collect these tools over the years. Some cost more than others but some of the less expensive become your favorites that you won't part with. As far as the topic of pricing, I think most things are over priced but if you like it and want it, what are you going to do. Needing it, well that's a different story. Great video, thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for comment!

[@edpelkey7798]

Great topic of discussion Matt, many times my buddy kicks my butt with Jerkbaits from Walmart while I throw a Vision 110. If your a Tackle Junkie and want the best money can buy Megabass Vision 110! The bait has outbarb trebles, premium split rigs, great paint jobs, and a weight transfer system to allow you to cast further.

Up in pike country I have not bought a MB due to your points. I mostly throw deep models. Berkley Stunna's are amazing! I have used berkley cutters before and they worked but the quality wasn't great, i had a few baits where the entire rear hook got ripped out. yo-zuri 3DB 110's are kind of a sleeper. They are great for the money and catch fish + cast well. good colors and action Rapala shadow rap deep have great action but don't cast quite as well but still love them lucky craft / duo realis also make really nice options that cast great and just work.

[@bobmatch5429]

Hey Matt, Another thing to add about spending $25 on any bait you throw in the upper midwest...it better work well with a wire leader! As a recent Wisconsin transplant to South Texas, it's hard to explain to most folks how your lure has disappeared after a hard strike when Muskies & Northerns are on the prowl.

[@MattStefanFishing]

the worst is when you dont even feel the bite. just go to jerk and there's nothing there.

[@1965JB]

[@spencershenley6833]

I do well on the megabass jerkbaits. I love then all. I am just careful to not fish them around pike. Spring throwing the jr plus 1 in Michigan for largemouth is a killer. It has become my confidence bait this last year

[@johnrayner5599]

Being from the Ozark region I can confirm we use jerkbaits a ton and yes they work amazing, but I have never been one to spend un needed dollars for the Megabass brand. Like you said Matt, to many other quality baits for one third to a half the price of Megabass, we all need to find cost cutting options but still get the same quality and performance.

[@MattStefanFishing]

its about what works best for each individual. thanks for sharing!

[@emilianobanzi9432]

I think the 101 original (the shorter lip) is still the best in cold water, that thing suspend perfectly and it has unique sharp jerks that the +1 and +2 haven't. All the Vision and all the MB baits in general still have the best paint job and finishes and top notch hardware IMO. But...saying that there are other brands in which I rely and they are proved: LC staysee 90, LC flash pointer, Jackall Rerange, Gan Craft Ayuja Rest, Duo Realis. I don't know the price in US but in JP they are all below $18

[@MattStefanFishing]

[@johnlantz7278]

can we help reduce hook rash ,an do you believe hook rash can reduce strikes. A great talk of changing hooks never seams to produce better than original hook,I’m using a powder scale to replace hooks as close to original,

good question. i dont think I have an answer for his but I almost feel like baits with more hook rash perform better...

[@shiggityswa]

I have quite a few onetens and one of my all time favorites on Great Lake is the +1 jr in GG perch. But with that being said, I’ve caught just as many fish on berkley cutters and 6th sense provokes.

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Matt…..I was wondering the same question for years. That is a lot of money for a lure and like you said it is a quality bait for sure but I am a Lucky Craft fan and have caught a ton on the pointers from the 78s to the 100s and bigger. But I’m thinking of getting one to see for myself!! Thank you for your honest assessment!!

[@juleswinnfield826]

Again.... spot on honest info. Many thanks for not being a Fan Boy, Talking Head, Homer..... I can't stand those clowns. I've always been a big fan of the phrase.... 'The craftsman makes any tool better than its intended design'. Your example from yesterday's vid about a fellow competitor fishing in the same creek as you on same bait and pattern.... but he was dancing his cricket different than you and having a better catch rate 100% agree that jerbait performance has had a huge increase across all manufacturers. Like anyone else i have my favs. I will mention one though, only because it doesnt get alot of press and honestly alot of anglers dont give it the credit it deserves from a legit quality fish catching perspective. The Googan squad Scout and Scout Jr. are outstanding with all the things we expect from a modern day jerkbait. Guessing some subs might not agree..... no worries. Id say buy a couple, fish them, then pass judgment on them. Im a huge fan of Rapala's shadow rap series. Very tunable when one changes hooks and split rings on the bait. Double split rings is another way to add weight to a jerkbait with the added benefit of keeping the fish hooked better. Double split ring is a cross over mod from the river steelhead fisherman. K, I've rattled on too long now. Thanks for the vid, great honesty.

I will take a rapala shadow rap over the vision 110 any day. The megabass break very easily but are ok but not all that. Hype is what made the vision 110.

I don't own any because when the MB first blew up, a buddy had some and I out fished him with Livingston jerkbaits from the back of the boat, that told me all I needed to know, and it wasn't a one trip deal it happened a few times and some of the Livingston quit putting off sound. Add to that the possibility of a Pike or musky stealing the lure...

Little tuff on the wallet but the MB 110 works second to none here on the deep clear mountain lakes in N. GA. We`ve tried hard to make other jerkbaits work here bc of the price but 110 kills it. Glad found your channel keep it going!

[@CDSilverado]

I have used most of those other baits, that 110 + 1 has been more consistent than those others.

[@MattStefanFishing]

its a great jerkbait

[@aaronh4431]

For me it’s about primary and secondary action all baits have a primary action when you pop thru the slack not many have secondary action after more slack is given . Taking the language of airplanes it’s about yaw and roll . A bait that moves on several planes draws more attention particularly after forward momentum has stopped . I have watched the mega bass rotate or yaw for several seconds on slack line . Is that important , maybe🤔

[@MattStefanFishing]

only the fish can answer that

[@Larry77777]

Hey Matt: For jerkbaits that float, my brother is addicted to the Rapala F11 while I have become addicted instead to the Bomber 15A Long A. For suspending jerkbaits, I'm liking the 110 size of Yo-Zuri 3DB and Jackall Rerange.

[@MattStefanFishing]

All of those are great baits!

[@buzzworth2396]

Yes sir Matt!!!! I agree with you on the price. When it comes down to it, do what I do. Crawl into a swimming pool and chunk some in it, go under the water and see for yourself. Hands down,..... you can not beat a Rapala jerk bait. They perform better than any of them on the market. Mossy back color is the best here in the Ozarks. It's half the price of the MB. Will out perform a MB version 2 to 1. Now that Ito painted Oneten plus sure is pretty, but........... pretty don't catch fish. It does add to the presentation but not the catch.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@brandonelliott5345]

I currently own around 70 megabass jerkbaits. $25 used to be expensive now days it’s cheap for the performance. There’s no doubt In my mind it’s the only jerkbait to own. Iv been fishing next to guys using pointers, kvd’s and I’m literally catching 10-1 fish. It just gets the bigger bites for me.

[@youtubzkoz]

It wins the tournaments, that's why so many pros lie about using others and get caught.

[@MattStefanFishing]

There is no doubt its a top notch bait, but the difference gap has closed considerably over the years.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Cant trust a fisherman haha

[@brandonelliott5345]

Yes it has

[@youtubzkoz]

Actually so many jerkbaits on the market too. I feel like they aren't used by new anglers more of an advanced angler bait to throw, although they aren't difficult. Tons of fun. Love the paint on megabass though and they are good for trout. Megabass, Lucky Craft, Jackall, Rapala. Rapala is the original!!

[@wilmerpruitt6324]

I think the situations that you mentioned where other baits out perform the 110, are based on actions of those baits in different temperatures of water. It is still tough to beat a 110 in 42-54 degree water temps, in that situation they are in a league of their own, in my opinion.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mitchg8797]

I found oddly enough in dirtier water and in current smithwicks work wonders in comparison to similar jerkbaits, only thing that I can really think that makes them different is how much more water they displace. It's kind of annoying because I usually switch to a medium power rod instead of a medium light because they pull so much harder with the big flat lip. Those vision 110s though have a absolutely deadly steady retrieve. As good or better than almost all my salmon crankbaits.

But my first impressions of the bait right out of the box is they've got really nice components like division 110 the color schemes and paint jobs are excellent I can tell they're going to cast well the weight transfer system in them is very similar that was good hooks and the thing that I struck me the most was the profiles of the two baits are different but the lip design and the width of the bait is very similar they went with that thinner profile from the top just like mega bass has that gives it that awesome side to side cutting ability first impressions just looking at it I'm going to say they're going to fish real similar.

These days, I opt for LIVE SMELT, LIVE WALLEYE, or LIVE RAINBOW TROUT color in that particular lure. I caught alot of fish on the original Rogue, too. I liked the original Clown color, before they gobbed an inch and half of red on the head, as it is today. But I also still have the ORIGINAL; I have a Rapala Floating Minnow that was in my uncle's tackle box, bequeathed to me. It was still in the original box with nothing but Finnish writing on it, unfished. It's from the late 30s. You can see the hand wrapped foil on the balsa body. That's my prize jerkbait.

[@MattStefanFishing]

agreed

[@wolverinex4243]

All I can tell you is my Megabasses get completely mod out of the box from hardware to paint to coatings. The eyes get swapped out for either Jettson Lure Eyes or Damiki pink pearl jighead eyes, but do paint the sockets first with black glitter paint to get that second layer effect. My trailers are made from premium fighting rooster breeds such as White Dragons, 14k, Aseel, Saigon, etc. The Jr's get either t-shirt paint or arcylic pen paints markings such as gills, blood trails, and tail highlights. In this game, only the best will do for me. Sub to KRK and see what I do.

sounds sweet looking!

[@jonnymoore3268]

Acme hyper rattles are expensive too. Actually they are all to expensive

[@MattStefanFishing]

AGREED!

[@SpookyRedz]

Enjoyed it bro

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks!

[@kennethfilas7979]

I think SPRO made a copycat of that bait called a McStick. Works pretty well.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Several other viewers said the same thing

[@simplyscholar21]

Not a big jerkbait guy. I river fish for smallies from the bank, but I did pick up a couple 6 dollar lunkerhunt impacts that I don't care if I get hung up on something and lose. If I threw a 110 and it got hung up offshore, that'd be the day I turn in to aquaman.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Ive gone swimming for many baits haha

[@craigstevens9734]

Gonna stick with less expensive

[@MattStefanFishing]

stick with what works for you is one thing I've always said

[@letterzx]

the best solution is to just have them all :)

[@MattStefanFishing]

Fact!

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

On my body of water (chickamauga) I haven’t found another jerk bait that will outperform the Megabass vision 110+1. Still gotta try the Berkley Stunna but it’s basically a direct knockoff of the Megabass product so the advantages is it’s cheaper and more accessible. I’ll take that though all day. Another great one but not as “good” imo is the Jackall Rerange. Heard the new 6th Sense are solid baits but also basically a knock off of Megabass, hell the eyes look identical to me lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks for sharing

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

@@MattStefanFishing hey Matt absolutely love your channel my top go to for fishing info! Thank you for what you share and your dedication to the industry!

[@MattStefanFishing]

@@The_Bass_Stunters Much appreciated!

[@roberts.2413]

It's not even my favorite Megabass jerkbait, I'm partial to the Ito Shiner and the Magnum LBO , that said I agree with Matt's point about other viable jerkbaits that at times will equal or out perform the Megabass baits.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Ill check out the magnum

[@datruthhurts3984]

I don't lose a lot of jerkbaits,to me it's worth it,especially in small clear water highland resevoirs

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bassngal3314]

Yozuri 110 is a great bait

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jamescaspersamanthalintner4767]

And talk I'm also going to add that as of right now the vision 110 is the best jerk bait on the market has been for a long time and I've tried several different jerk baits and sometimes other jerkbates will out fishing 110 but day in Day out yeah it's worth 25 bucks

[@markbowers9579]

I Fish in California in super Clearwater I’ve done very well on the lucky craft stay Z 90 version two it’s a great jerk bait

[@MattStefanFishing]

I like them as well

[@Dirty19Delta]

Hell yes it is!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Its a good jerkbait

[@dong8307]

New sub here. Great info.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Thanks for the sub!

[@spacecat86]

Caught my first lake fork fish on that lure…then lost it…found it…then lost it again…. 😢

[@MattStefanFishing]

oh man you should have retired it after finding it

[@ballzybaits4414]

IMO, not worth it. Maybe if it was the only thing out there. Now, you can get the same exact body and action for less than 5-8 dollars. If you like to do custom paint, it's only a dollar a pop.

[@pauleyplay]

You cant be correct. The more you spend, the more you catch, I wish !

[@MattStefanFishing]

I agree with you but I have to add that Im not in favor of companies replicating the exact bait mold and selling them for dirt cheap. A lot of time this can lead to fraud when a dishonest person buys those bodies and paints them to exactly match a megabass and sells them AS a megabass. Just my two cents

[@ballzybaits4414]

@@MattStefanFishing Truth! We're a small bait company and see all these replica of big name manufacturers. We've searched all the avenue and didn't want to carry any knock-offs. We've spend so much time in R&D on a bait, we understand 1000% the effort put into a design and its price tag, hence why we shy away from China made products (no hate on companies using them for their products). We just have a model of 100% US made. I just think the price tag has to adjust to the market.

[@brandonelliott5345]

I think you answered your own question. Why would every company make a design just like the 110 if it wasn’t the best?

[@MattStefanFishing]

Like I said in the video it was clearly the best, which is why it was copied...but also why other companies are making much better baits. As the saying goes "The sincerest form of flattery is imitation."
