Anyone using these? Curious on the durability of the lip. Thanks for any info you can provide.

I got a couple for Christmas one year from wife trying to do her best to get me something I’d use. I’ve had no trouble with the durability compared to a regular 110. But I break at least 5 110s annually against docks. Trouble is I don’t have the confidence in the action of the FX compared to a regular 110. I personally don’t see an outstanding increase in casting distance to outweigh any loss in confidence regarding action. Might be all in my head.

Thanks for the review, kind of what I was thinking, but I have no experience lol. Looks like not many people use them, which also tells me a lot. A buddy bought 5 or 6 of them and wants me to repaint, but I wanted to be sure it would be worth it and hold up on some fish before going through that expense.

I bought one and fished it hard. Bill held up and I was able to get more distance casting it as well. I could just bomb that bait. Try one and see what you think. Not sure if the action was different than the standard 110 but it was a top producer a couple summers ago.

Thank you sir, great info. Really glad to hear they are durable. I’ll have to try one soon as well.

Megabass replaces these for free, so even if it breaks, its not a problem. Has one broke on me earlier in the season. Send them the broken 110, they send me 2 as a replacement :big grin:
