I only fish SW. Never tried the X-70 but the SW version of the X-80 is my go-to small jerkbait. My personal experience is that the bill on the X-80 generates surprising amount of vibration and resistance, considering its size. The bill on the X-80 is pretty tough, too. Way tougher than that on the oneten. This 50cm mangrove jack is one the most recent catch on one of my battle-scarred X-80 SW.

The X-80 is good small jerkbait. It has a good darting action and the rattles are loud. Just how good is the X-80? I actually prefer the X-80 over the 110.

I should throw mine more often. Usually it's live or die with 110.
