I might be ready, but just to be safe I'll go buy a few more :lol:

I like the variety. So many people get hung up on using only 110s, that they miss out on some other really good baits like those that will often outproduce a 110.

I fish them all year, but not on light line :lol:

Dou will outperform 110’s in the summer
Haven’t tried winter/fall

Either way diversity is good. 110’s you kinda have to have a dedicated setup in my opinion but luckycraft pointer 100 can be used on the same setup as my do
Dou Realis or OSP. IM enjoying the Megabass 110 magnums and they are similar to the 120 by dou Realis and same setup for both

I mostly just have a jerkbait addiction and buy too many :) That automatically creates variety.

I'll fish 110s all year, but in the warmer months I reach for the Flash Pointer and Rerange buckets a lot. There are a couple Ito Shiners in the 110 drawer that might come out in warm months, as well. 100/110 Jr sizes depending on the baitfish (I've had days on Clear Lake where every cast would draw up a fish, but they didn't start committing until I tied on a small size). Various Staysee 90, 110 +1, +2 etc. for deep ledges and winter.

Slender Pointer for smallmouth fisheries. Pointer & Rerange 130 and Kanatas for late Spring. Tiny ones for trout.

I don't use super light line myself, btw. 10-12lbs.

I am in the process of building a rod specifically for light lines and small to medium jerkbaits as I really like fishing them. I like some of the deeper, suspending models. The mid-day, summer bite can be fantastic on these. I’m not sure why this class of lures is so overlooked.

I was ready all season! Fish very similar ones in your collection here in Michigan all fishing season. I'll even take beat up ones and swap the hooks out and fish SW with them in FL. Love em!
