Megabass 110 LBO - Stuck Weights
I have several Vision 110 LBO versions purchased from Japan. They are stored in a Lurelock box. All of them no longer work properly. The weights will go to the rear but not return under normal conditions. I can shake them and they move but they used to move as soon as they tilted past horizontal.
I'm confused how this has happened. I live in CO and rust is very little concern. None of the other baits in the box have an issue.
Am I out $100s?

Re: Megabass 110 LBO - Stuck Weights
Can you see through them? Not sure if this is the issue you are describing, but the “wall” that stops the weight transfer from sliding all the way to the rear can break, and the transfer weights get stuck where the body continues to taper. If you can see through, you can usually see where it has broken. Has happened to me with 110, Flash Minnow SP and a few other weight transfer lures. I think Megabass will replace baits if you have a legitimate issue.

Re: Megabass 110 LBO - Stuck Weights
The LBO is a completely different weight system than the traditional Vision 110.
Also, they are JDM baits not sold here by Megabass USA.
I'm thinkinging I'd have to mail them to Japan Lure Shop.
So frustrating as they all sit tail down now and look like crap. I have at least 8 of them and they were $27.

Looks like it has the same stop to the sliding weights. Cut one open and see, and tell us what the problem is then.RMCatchNrelease wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 6:20 amThe LBO is a completely different weight system than the traditional Vision 110.

Warped under the sun or heat?

Re: Megabass 110 LBO - Stuck Weights
They are the standard 110 and not the max. They were all ordered from Japan.
I can't say they haven't warped. However, I have several other brands and standard 110s in the same box that are perfectly fine. Also, they don't appear warped.
You can seen the LBO weight and ball bearings. They don't appear rusted.
