The 110 juniors do not use the Katsuage Outbarb hooks. Megabass America has told me that a good replacement for the 110 junior hooks are the Gamakatsu Treble Round Bend # 8 sized hooks as replacements. Just passing this along. Love your Megabass 110 videos!
Good advice. I found out the hard way not to straighten a bent stock hook on the Vision 110, it broke quickly thereafter. Why not pick your favorite tackle retailer (that will pay you) and put a link to the hooks and such below the video. Nothing wrong with making money on your knowledge my fishing friend.
Last question, I promise ;) What’s your thoughts to using the Owner Tear Drop split ring to connect your line to the bait rather than a traditional round split ring ?
I really love Randy’s videos, but I think it’s Megabass sponsorship rose colored glasses when he talks about the megabass hooks. They are terrible hooks in my opinion. One caveat is that I fish mostly for large mouth bass so that may be why I get so many broken or bent out hooks. The vision 110 is my favorite, but I always change out the hooks.
Hi Randy, I checked the Tackle Warehouse reviews on these hooks and a few people say they are brittle or break. Have you had any of them break or have you experienced any issues with them? Thanks
Never considered the paint scheme/colors of the bait affecting the rise or fall of the bait. Great, now something else to consider. Tournament anglers I know use strictly the Gamakatsu G-finesse hooks on all of his crankbaits. So that makes sense if you were to change them to go to those. The stock hooks are razor sharp though, so I doubt I'd change them for fun fishing that I do.
I'm in the minority that isn't a fan of that g finesse treble. Really liking the Clunn light wire kamakiri on the 110. One issue I am having with all trebles, even the stock trebles, is the center hook likes to swing up, rotate, and catch on the side of the bait. Any solution to this?
Wow! This makes so much sense! I noticed that the Vision 110+2 deadly black Shad will not suspend in 60 degree water it sinks slowly and this is out of the package! It does have that Chrome finish and prob weighs more.
Heyyyy randy just saw some very old video of you - looked to be bass masters in the 80s .. so vintage & kool - you were a good looking young man 😉... age gets us all . 😉
Hey Randy. Do you recommend a shorter rod than a 6’10 or is that a good length and action? I’m a shorter guy around 5’4 and use a 6’6 medium baitcaster but i feel that it’s a bit stiffer possibly because of the shorter length. I have been thinking about switching to a spinning rod but unsure if I should upsize or stay 6’6 or shorter. With a baitcaster it’s hard to do downward snaps so I normally do sideways snaps. I feel even when I do cast with a spinning rod I get better action with side snaps.
For a normal jerk bait rod of around 7 foot you should use medium light. You will have to use a softer rod so you don’t get your trouble hooks thrown if you go shorter on your rod.
Thanks randy, you should do a pitching and flipping set up tutorial/advice, maybe you already have but just a suggestion i love to pitch i probably pitch more then cast lol
Randy great video as always. U and johnny need to come fish my charity bass tournament on stockton lake dec 13th. Its 50 percent payback and all proceeds are going to buy the angels on the xmas trees in wal mart.
@@randyblaukatintuitive - great, thanks. Sure hope you do more JBait seminars. I couldn't make my scheduled work on the dates of the last two. Love your content!
Also, dont trust stock hook sharpness and sharpen your hooks routinely while fishing. Just a little touch up every now and then. They need to be sharp enough that they set themselves a lot of the time. They need to pass the fingernail test at all times IMO.
@@ikashibimauler Seriously. Chemically sharpened hooks should not be hand sharpened. Also if you sharpen the wrong direction they actually become worse. Easier for me to just pop new Gammies on.
@@creighart Luckily. or not, for me, I've had to return 2 Pro Blues to MB. They ask you to remove the hooks before mailing it back. They've sent me two replacement 110 juniors plus now, I have 6 extra hooks! I'm set!
Hey Randy! Thanks for info. You should put a link at bottom for Tackle Warehouse as do others. Not only would you get a small kick back, but it really does help me go straight to what you are referring to in the video. There is an entire list of Gamakatsu treble hooks; two of which are finesse. I think I figured out which one, but thought I’d suggest this for both our sakes :)

I’ve never tried them

Randy, love the videos! I would love to hear your thoughts on using snaps or tying directly to a jerkbait.
I ordered these... my stock hooks always break after i catch some bigger fish....! I needed this tip...!!
What brand and size split rings do you use ? Can’t overlook these if we are taking hooks.
Love those hooks, I use them on Rico’s also
What’s your thoughts to using a red hook on the front ? If you do this, which brand and size do you use ?

Great video Randy. Keep up the tutorials.

Line selection makes a difference, too.
Thanks for the info. What is the benefit to Megabass jerkbaits nosing down when retrieving and pausing it?
Hey Randy I am just getting into using MegaBass lures specifically the flap slap & popmax & s- crank what hooks should I use on those 3 baits !!??
Heyyyy randy just saw some very old video of you - looked to be bass masters in the 80s .. so vintage & kool - you were a good looking young man 😉... age gets us all . 😉
About half way thru the video you say to use 3-#5’s but near the end you say to use 3-#3’s. Which is it?
5’s sorry for the confusion
Would you run the same hook on the 110 LBO Max?

Will definitely!
I’m almost 100% positive he meant three #5 treble hooks not #3 guys
You are right Ryan... brain cramp on my part!
@@randyblaukatintuitive OK good! Glad you cleared that up!
Are you meaning Gamakatsu G finesse nano hooks?
I’m assuming you are as my 110s have already got them on them.
Yep
Thanks for the video. 👍👍
Lost my pb striper (around 18-20 pounds) the hooks straightened out completely, they were like metal wire 😂
gamakatsu aaron martin hooks are fire.
Everything that he works on or creates he really puts his all into bait making
@@derekwilliams6403 I can't speak on his duo crank bait but the hooks are dope.
Randy great video as always. U and johnny need to come fish my charity bass tournament on stockton lake dec 13th. Its 50 percent payback and all proceeds are going to buy the angels on the xmas trees in wal mart.
And yes, its all legit , i just got the regatta permit approval . Its at cedar ridge launch ramp
Its a 60 dollar entry fee but for a great cause
Great info Randy. I am a bit confused however. First you said 3 # 5’s on the Vision 110 then at the very end of the video you said 3 #3’s.
???
Mistake... no. 5’s I meant
@@randyblaukatintuitive - great, thanks. Sure hope you do more JBait seminars. I couldn't make my scheduled work on the dates of the last two. Love your content!
Is that the regular finesse or the nano finesse??? Please.
Regular
Hey Randy do they have a world fishing tournament? If not they should seeing that we have the Olympic to see who's the best athlete in the world.
What about split rings?
What size line do you typically use and action of rod
8lb flouro & medium extra fast
I went out with him and he uses a medium fast spinning setup and #8 fluoro
Also, dont trust stock hook sharpness and sharpen your hooks routinely while fishing. Just a little touch up every now and then. They need to be sharp enough that they set themselves a lot of the time. They need to pass the fingernail test at all times IMO.
NEVER SHARPEN YOUR OWN HOOKS.
@@IndianaSmallmouth hahaha good one.
@@ikashibimauler Seriously. Chemically sharpened hooks should not be hand sharpened. Also if you sharpen the wrong direction they actually become worse. Easier for me to just pop new Gammies on.
Do you throw the 110 jrs. Those are my favorite
I do! Love them. Different hooks on them though. No Katsuage Outbarbs on them. Also, replace with Gamakatsu Trebles ( G Finesse) size # 8's.
@@robertbrost7777 yessir i put those same hooks on too once the stock ones get beat up
@@creighart Luckily. or not, for me, I've had to return 2 Pro Blues to MB. They ask you to remove the hooks before mailing it back. They've sent me two replacement 110 juniors plus now, I have 6 extra hooks! I'm set!
I do!
How come MB doesn’t just put them on

I can figure how to get set up with any online retailer
Here's a treat for you Randy.... look for yourself at minute 11:23 in this Hudson River tournament video :) th-cam.com/video/YD4Vo4vci0E/w-d-xo.html
That’s so obvious: use SHARP hooks 🤔 Ultra Sharp 2 b precise
Gamakatsu G Finesse Treble.
