Megabass Vision 110 Junior | 9.8cm 11g Ghost Lancon

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that when the fishing gets tough, the “match the hatch” rule becomes everything. The Megabass Vision 110 Junior is the refined, compact sibling of the legendary Oneten jerkbait. It packs all the fish-catching pedigree of the full-sized version into a 9.8cm profile, making it a lethal choice when predators are keyed into smaller baitfish like sandeels or sprats.

The Ghost Lancon colorway is a particular favorite of ours. It offers that perfect level of translucency that mimics a real sandeel, catching the light just enough to trigger a strike without spooking wary fish in clear water.

Why the Vision 110 Junior Belongs in Your Kit

1. The Legendary “Oneten” Action

Don’t let the “Junior” tag fool you. This lure retains the incredible “darting” mobility that made the original 110 famous. On a sharp jerk, it displaces water and flashes its flanks with a level of agility that many larger lures simply can’t match. It’s designed to hunt in the water column, moving erratically to mimic a wounded or panicked baitfish.

2. Multi-Way Moving Balancer System

Megabass is world-renowned for its engineering, and the 110 Junior features a sophisticated tungsten balancer system. On the cast, the weights shift to the tail for maximum distance and accuracy. Once it hits the water, the weights lock into place to provide the lure with its signature high-response action.

3. The Power of the Pause

While many lures work best on a constant retrieve, the 110 Junior shines during the “dead stop.” It is a slow-floating lure that, when paused, stays in the strike zone longer. This is often the exact moment a following Bass or Pike decides to commit.

Technical Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• Clear Water Coastal Marks: The Ghost Lancon finish is a masterclass in subtlety. In gin-clear water, it provides a realistic silhouette that doesn’t look “artificial” to a prowling Bass.

• Estuary Gullies: Its shallow diving depth (around 1 meter) makes it perfect for working over the top of weed beds or through shallow estuary channels where sandeels are being pushed by the tide.

• Freshwater Perch & Pike: In freshwater, this size is a “Perch magnet.” The erratic darting action is often too much for a big stripey to resist, especially in the autumn months.

• High-Pressure Days: When larger lures are being ignored, downsizing to the 110 Junior can often “unlock” the water and turn a blank day into a busy one.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

To get the absolute best out of this lure, use a light-to-medium fast-action rod. Instead of “pulling” the lure with the reel, use the rod tip to give it short, sharp snaps on a slack line. This slack-line jerking allows the lure to “kick” 180 degrees, creating a massive flash of its sides that predators find impossible to ignore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 110 Junior cast as well as the original?

Surprisingly, yes. Because of the internal tungsten balancer system, it punches way above its 11g weight class. It cuts through the air cleanly, allowing for accurate casts even in a light crosswind.

Are the hooks strong enough for saltwater?

Megabass lures come with incredibly sharp, high-quality hooks. However, if you are specifically targeting hard-fighting UK Bass in heavy current, some anglers choose to swap the middle hook for a slightly heavier gauge—though be careful, as changing the weight can affect the delicate balance and slow-floating action of the lure.

What is the best retrieve speed?

The 110 Junior is a “jerkbait” first and foremost. While a linear retrieve works, its real magic happens with a “twitch-twitch-pause” rhythm. Vary the length of the pause based on the water temperature; the colder the water, the longer the pause should be!
