That is fine if you can find them.That V-max explodes when it gets in and the innards turn to jello.But  like fishing use the lure you have confidence in.If you like the big bass lure vs the tiny rooster tail then try it out.I like my tiny rooster tail personally.Used a 110 gr for the first time in 30-06 this year and may never use a 150 or heavier  again.Loved it.I used to be in the bigger heavier crowd and long barrel crowd.</blockquote>
