One ten special
One ten special
Thinking about buying Megabass Destroyer one ten special. I fish a lot of Lucky Craft 78 and 97 pointers. Any of you using this rod.
Thanks

Its one of my favorites in the US Destroyer lineup. I carry 2 of them in the boat. Good topwater rod as well. I occasionally use it on shaeyheads and even dropshots when using a baitcaster for those presentations.

I have this rod paired up with an Aldebaran for jerkbaits. I love it.

I have mine paired with a Steez SV TW in gold trim and 7:1 gears, plus a little ZPI magic. It is a fantastic jerk bait rod, one of my favorites. Like Mark, I use mine for a lot more than jerk bait fishing, and yes even some light bottom contact stuff. It is a very versatile rod and a lot of fun to fish.

How well does the 110 Special handle the Pointer 78’s? They are at the bottom end of the rod’s rating.
Re: One ten special
Would you choose it over the X4 OneTen Stick? I find myself slapping the water often with a 6'10" rod but I am also not very tall.bronzefly wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 11:17 pmI have mine paired with a Steez SV TW in gold trim and 7:1 gears, plus a little ZPI magic.

Re: One ten special
Paired with the Steez SV TW and 8# FC, I think it does a pretty good job with the Pointer 78. It's a little on the stout side, but still fishes them effectively.
The X4 OneTen Stick is a very different rod than the US Destroyer 110 Special. The X4 is a lot like the current production XXX OneTen stick - short and moderate. I actually really like both the X4 and XXX models and I think both of them handle the Pointer 78 better than the US Destroyer model. Generally speaking, I prefer the US Destroyer model overall for jerk bait fishing.
