River I fish averages 4-5’, although plenty of 7-10’ holes and this time of year with them mostly congregated in and around winter areas I’m fishing a lot of deeper stuff.

 

I like the 110 but it doesn’t really get down, and the junior I feel doesn’t have as erratic of an action. Is the 110+1 overkill or probably a good fit for these conditions?

I want the lure from 1 to 3 feet above the fish.

So if winter bass in my fishery are suspended in 10 ft of water or hugging bottom, what are you throwing?

The fish are 10' below the surface of the water?  In that case I'm throwing a 6-8' jerkbait, watching it on live imaging, and adjusting from there.

Which of the Vision 110 offerings best achieve that on 12 lb fluoro?

You’d have to ask a guy who owns a vision 110.

I use a Rapala F11 4-6 ft diver

 

I wanna see the rod that throws a 6-8 ft jerkbait! 😆

Jackall Rerange MR or 110 + 1 are the ones I like.

Colors I like, Mat Perch, Mat Shad

You know you want one

@ohioguy25- sure, but then I’d have to have a full set.  And I have basically the full set of KVDs for what I need.  So owning one isn’t an option for me.  Owning one means owning about $150 worth.  

Rapala Shadow Rap Deep 9 or 11 in silver or bone.  I  want it a few feet above them.  They will know it’s coming.

i think boatside has a video of them throwing the Rapala "mantle" bait.

What do you mean full set?

@ohioguy25- a set that covers all the depths I’d fish them at (so a 4-6, an 8-10, and a 12+) in a couple colors and at least two sizes.  Some with duplicates or overlap. I have that now in KVDs.  In 110s I’d need to get 2 dozen or so ultimately to do that and I know once I start down that path that’s where I’d end up if they worked for me.  At $15 a pop that’s $350 but I could get started for about $150 to cover a couple core uses.  To pick one?  I’d need either a +1 or +2 in something clear/natural.  But then it would work pretty well and I’d need to drop $150 or so to fill it out.  Then those would work well so I’d have to spend the rest to get the full set and retire the KVDs to the basement.  

Rapala Countdowns will allow you to reach just about any depth you want.
