Megabass Ito Vision One-Ten (X-110) Jerkbait for Bass Fishing

Model: ITO ENGINEERING VISION ONE-TEN (X-110)
Type: Suspending, Slow Floating Jerkbait
Weight: 1/2 oz
Length: 4-1/2" (110.5 mm)

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.

Megabass Ito Engineering POP-MAX Topwater for Bass Fishing

Model: ITO ENGINEERING POP-MAX
Type: Topwater, Walking, Rolling, Splashing, Diving
Weight: 1/2 oz
Length: 3-3/8" (78 mm)

The POP-MAX is one of the very best bass lures that Megabass offers, and it is relatively hard to get / hard to find.

The POP-MAX is categorized as a popper, but it is much more than that. It is equipped with a large and complex series of six water intakes and a water pressure chamber which makes what you might call a more natural ‘bio-sound’ compared to other poppers. POP-MAX is more dynamic than other poppers. Its action is based on dog-walking, side-rolling, but it also grabs so much water each time it turns its head, it really agitates the surface each time it rolls from one side to the other.

The original POP-MAX mold was carved out by Yuki Ito rather than relying on computer design programs. As expected of Megabass, the overall quality of the finish and paint patterns are impeccable. Also, POP-MAX features a unique water flow system which consists of six water intakes and a water chamber. Instead of the regular water-through system used for the smaller size Megabass POP-X, the POP-MAX utilizes a water-accumulating chamber inside, and as water pressure changes inside the POP-MAX chamber, it makes the cupped face act like a crankbait lip when filled with water. Furthermore, when paused, the water in the chamber goes out and lifts its head, ready for a splash with a gentle rod action. That gentle rod tip action is the key to make POP-MAX roll-walk dynamically, grabbing the water with each rolling action.

Since poppers tend to sit still more often than other lures, it is critical to look ‘real’ or ‘natural.’

POP-MAX is one of the most realistic, beautiful and intricately-detailed bass lures you will ever see.

If there is any topwater bait which looks more convincingly natural and more detailed than POP-MAX, please let me know.

Back Bone Rib Balancer System. The internal body is a complex construction of 'balancer ribs' inside. This construction concept is unique to the Pop-Max, and is there in order to increase its structural integrity - and at the same time raise the center of gravity or balance point higher up on the bait. This internal construction is not readily visible. From the outside, the structural design does not reveal itself, but it is what gives POP-Max its unique balance and rolling action. POP-MAX is the only Megabass product with this internal ribbed construction. When you walk the dog with it, due to the high center of gravity of the ribs inside, it causes the dynamic roll that displays the vulnerable stomach of POP-MAX each time it rolls.

High Impact Resin. The body resin material is especially able to absorb impact, states Megabass. So the lure is not fragile and not prone to break due to the cut-out water duct intakes.

Water Intakes and Pressure Chamber. The water from the six water intakes does not flow through, but water accumulates and builds up water pressure within a water chamber inside. With delicate rod action, the water pressure changes inside, and some water is discharged by the pressure build-up. The pressure discharge helps the POP-MAX to roll and to walk. The water chamber, when filled and under pressure, also causes the cupped face to act a little like a crankbait lip, and causes the POP-MAX to dog walk as it dives underwater easily.

Pausing the POP-MAX releases the water pressure inside the water chamber, and that's the time to pop it lightly, like a typical topwater popper, to make a splash.

POP-MAX (1st and 3rd) has a huge body size compared to conventional poppers, yet POP-MAX responds sensitively to gentle rod movements.

Super long distance casting, even in a stiff breeze.
