Luck E Strike RC Jerkbait vs Megabass Vision 110
Yeah, I can see it's a lot slimmer - that one probably does mirror the Vision 110.

Classic Build Challenge: $300 to Convince Me on Spinning
I have a Tatula LT 3000D and a Tatula Elite ML 7'. Its a pretty sweet combo and falls right around 300 dollars if you shop on Amazon. I also have a Daiwa Revros LT and really like that reel on an AIRD rod and its great as well and much cheaper.

Do you have any pictures of the old ones? I am curious now and may need to track one down...

Luck E Strike RC Jerkbait vs Megabass Vision 110
Someone told me recently that the Luck E Strike Rick Clunn Jerkbait was the exact same thing as the Megabass Vision 110. So I bought a few of each and started to compare them. At first glance they are very similar to the Vision 110 with Megabass having more options for paint schemes - I would not say better though - the RC paint jobs look pretty good. After taking them out of the package they both have 2 ball bearings in their similar, if not identical, weighted system for casting. They are about the same length (I had all intentions of measuring them but my digital calipers pooped the bed) and have a very similar shape. But after closer inspection the vision 110 is lighter with and without the stock hardware. The vision 110 has a narrower body from head to tail and it has a little narrower bill. Also of note, that could be a concern, is the eyelets on the RC jerkbait are smaller gauge and smaller diameter than the Vision 110's. After fishing them it appears the vision 110 goes a bit deeper but not much (maybe 6-12") and has a little tighter swim on the jerks. They both stop on a dime and suspend very well in 42 degree water. Overall the RC Jerkbait is a pretty good bargain when it comes in at $8 compared to $25 for the MB Vision 110. You can't get a RC in a +1 or +2 version though...

Vision 110 Jr.
I am using 30# maxquatro which is already pretty thin. The leader I am using is at least 10' long. I will throw on new hooks and give it a whirl on straight fluoro tomorrow. The 3 I have tried are definitely floating. The water is relatively cold (39 degrees). I am working them pretty slow.

Vision 110 Jr.
I am using 30lb braid to an 10lb fluoro leader. The regular visions, the +1's and 2's have all worked great. I like the smaller size for the small bass I catch and trout.

Vision 110 Jr.
I have 7 or 8 Vision 110 Jr.'s and so far they are a huge disappointment. Out of the 3 I have tried in cold weather, they float. I am not talking about a slow rise, but they come right to the surface. I tried these with the stock hooks to see how they are...even when you crank it, it only gets down to 2 or 3 feet. I got them to present a different offering than the pointer 78's that work very well and easily get down and suspend at 5 feet. I can put on some heavier hooks and tweak it but for 20 bucks it should work out of the package. Has anyone else had this issue?

Fluorocarbon what do you use?
Let me refine my answer...I only buy name brand fluoro. It usually ends up being Trilene, Vicious, Seaguar and Vanish. I know people complain about Vanish, but it's never failed on me.

Fluorocarbon what do you use?
I simply use whatever is on sale. I have never seen a big difference in fluoro - it's all a PITA and I only use it for leaders.

What do you throw a buzz bait on?
7'3" Daiwa MH Tatula XT with a Daiwa Tatula CT Type R 8.1:1. Straight 30# Braid. I will say that I have learned not to jerk like a crazy man though. With a fast tip and that power you can easily rip it right out without hooking up.

KastKing Does it again...
Field test completed and batch production started! Dear KastKing Fans, We appreciate your patience while waiting for our KastKing Speed Demon Elite baitcasting reels. Our whole team has been working hard on the new breakthrough baitcaster reels. Here’s the latest update for you. We’ve completed all the field test in February. Two of our Top Anglers, MLF Pros Brent Chapman and Cliff Crochet, used the reels for quite a while. They’ve given our engineering team some feedback and we’ve made a couple of small adjustments. As of now, we are confident to say the approved final reels are ready to go into production! However, there is some bad news. As you are aware, the deadly Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is breaking out all over the world now, which has had a huge impact on the global supply chain. Some of our suppliers in China and Asia cannot deliver some parts and components on schedule due to the severe epidemic. Furthermore, the logistic companies, such as Fedex and UPS, are being affected a lot as well. Many flights are cancelled, and shipment delays occur. Although we are working around the clock trying to limit the impact, the situation is really out of our control. Now, with diligent communication, we worked out some solutions with our suppliers. We will finish the production for right-handed reels by the end of the end of April, which will be one month later than our original plan. We are sorry about what happened. We really appreciate your understanding. Thank you again for all your support! Best Regards, KastKing

Can you recommend a " true " floating worm ?
The Zman Floating Wormz float the best but rigging them is a PITA. But once you get them rigged, they last forever. Keep in mind, you want the ones without salt if you want a true floater!

Fishing Lingo mis-pronunciations
What are they then? I have only ever heard it pronounced that way and I have been fishing for Muskie for 25 years... Ok, that makes sense. I dont pronounce it like that...

Have you ever counted your lures?
I just looked at my topwater boxes which dont include frogs, buzzbaits or any soft baits - 72. I am not going to count more because topwater baits are my least amount.
