Just received a Rerange 110 from TW. I took it out of the package and cannot get the weight transfer system to move. It stays in the forward position when I shake it and try to make it move. It says on the back of the packaging it slides “effortlessly” so seems odd. I can get the transfer system on my Vision 110s to move easily so just wondering if this is normal or what?

Read the reviews on TW.  They will tell you what is going on.

 

Unless you have a bad one, it's normal.

 

 

Best I recall the magnet system in that lure is so strong that you can’t get the magnet to move by hand, it takes the hard snap of a cast to take it from the front to the rear

On your first cast with this lure you'll think your rod snapped!

Geez, after reading some of the TW reviews and your post it sounds like it’s a strong magnet. I would have taken it out to cast first before posting but everything is frozen (as you probably know @OkobojiEagle).

This x100

 

Even after the 10,000th cast sometimes I find myself looking around. I did not read the reviews so I didn't know what had happened. I thought I whacked my windshield or something. Then thought I hit my trolling motor. Then thought my rod broke. I finally figured it out.

For me, the sound of the weight snapping into place became familiar and satisfying in an odd way.  

I had the same reaction when I got my first one. I was able to get it to move by hand but it took a lot of effort. It's effortless with a normal cast though. It is LOUD. 

YEP !!

Mine didn't catch any fish, it had to be faulty ?
