The ONE-TEN is considered to be one of if not 'the' very best and most productive jerkbaits ever made.

Nevertheless, the Vision ONE-TEN is still hard to find / hard to get.

I know of a number of top pros on the national BASS and FLW tours who have relied on the Ito Vision 110 jerkbait for years, but have successfully kept it secret out of the media for years.

Yuki Ito is the lure designer who is responsible for all Megabass lure concepts. Ito designed the ONE-TEN specifically for the modern American angler to be able to 'power fish' with a jerkbait. That was a revolutionary concept back in 2000 when Ito introduced it.

Enjoy Power Fishing. ONE-TEN is a true power jerkbait designed for hard-core power fishermen. Around the time it was created (approx. 2000), most jerkbaits used in the USA were lighter, smaller, more delicate models requiring relatively lighter tackle. The Ito Vision 100 was one of the first built with the robust size body and features made for a little heavier tackle than other jerkbaits of the time.

Tight Rolling Action. Unlike other jerkbaits, ONE-TEN has quite flat sides and a slight caved-in belly which contribute to ONE-TEN's unique tight-rolling action.

ONE-TEN's unique underbelly design allows it to tight-roll even in rough conditions or current.

Inside are twin precision balancers made of tungsten composite material. The quick and responsive movement of the tungsten material improves ONE-TEN's castability and jerking action.

In terms of angler-imparted action, the ONE-TEN is ideal for faster tempo jerking with shorter distance darts.

Super High Castability. ONE-TEN's spherical balancers made of tungsten composite move to the very rear of the bait, reducing vibration and wobble caused by air resistance in flight. The tungsten balancers are also critical to ONE-TEN's crisp jerking action.

Equipped with Katsuage Treble Hooks. ONE-TEN is equipped with Megabass original Katsuage hooks. These have an out-barb, out-point and are wide gap with a 'near-center' seat for the hook to stay pinned. These trebles are specifically designed for jerkbait bites, which are often tricky hooksets.

USA Packaging. The Ito Vision One-Ten (X-110) is packaged for the USA in the heat-sealed blister card as shown with English language text on the package. The same lure packaged for sale in Japan comes in a heavy plastic clamshell case with Japanese language text.

The manufacturer, Megabass, states that, "The lures are the same. The only difference is the packaging. The Japanese lures are in a hard plastic case opposed to the blister pack used in the USA. The other difference is the color selections. Particular colors are only available for the American market because they work well here. Otherwise, they are produced by the same company and manufactured the same," confirms Megabass.
