It's called an Outbarb hook. According to the designer it is harder for the fish to throw than a normal hook.

I think you mean Vision 110.....they are called Katsuage hooks and are designed like that purposely. They have proven themselves in the 20 years the 110 has been out. https://megabassusa.com/__trashed-21/

Also the perfect weight to get the bait to suspend. It’s designed to be a almost finesse bait. Light line with a softer rod, put too stout of hooks on it might as well fish a kvd.

They bend out quite easy unfortunately, you can swap them with the Gamakatsu G finesse treble. #6

I don’t understand how most of you Bass guys bend out hooks-It’s all in how you set your drag. I use the KVD and owner trebles(Sizes-2-4-6) on my crankbaits for reds and snook and haven’t had issues with bending. I could see ripping out a 8 lber from a lay down but sheesh, set your drag correctly and don’t blame your hooks lol

I found this out the hard way, on welsh. They are designed to be fished on a pretty soft rod and light line. I was throwing it on a M MOD rod, with 12lb test. I hooked into a good one, and got it to the boat and it shook me off. After taking a look at the hook, I figured out that the equipment was too much for this bait, and I changed out the hooks, and I've not had a problem since with my current setup and I still have that traditional MEGABASS action from the Vision 110.

I don't change the hooks and I have a boatload of the 110's. I would like to change the price, though.

No issues using them on Fork . Not even the smallmouth on Bridgeport have bent them.

I don't know exactly when I bent them, but I have bent them before. It may be the spots I'm catching, they can surge at the boat. I fish 12# flouro. My rod might be a little heavy for the technique but I like my set up, the hooks on my lucky craft pointers don't bend out, it is what is is

No issues using them on Fork . Not even the smallmouth on Bridgeport have bent them. That's impressive on Fork Mark! I've bent them a couple of times, it was always because I was having to lean on the fish to keep them away from cover, primarily working one down the side of a pier/boathouse and a good one would get it and head back under the dock.

In all my years of using the MB 110 jerkbaits I have yet to have any hooks pull out or bend. They flat out stick to anything they touch. I use a custom rod, Shimano reel, and 8 lb test and never had an issue.
