  • Lucky strikes?

    Anyone using Lucky Craft hardbaits? I keep eyeballing them online, but I rarely see the larger ones in stores, not really sure which ones for stripers. They come in 50 different configurations, but a tad more than the average jerkbait, so I don’t want to order the wrong ones.
    (Anyway to change thread title, I had cigs on the brain)

    Lucky strikes?

    We have been using luckycraft craft pointers. The first one we got came in a mystery tackle box. We were about to go fishing and I was digging in my buddy’s garage and jokingly snatched it out of his stack of mtb boxes.

    I caught 13 good size bass and he only got 7. The second trip out had similar results with me out fishing him 7 to 3.

    Bass are fickle though on our third trip this year it was all fire tiger jointed rapala and not a single fish on the luckycraft pointer.

    Between my group of 4 regular fishing buddy’s we bought probably 24 of those pointers after our first two trips.

    They are a very nice lure but there cost puts them at a premium.

    This is the lure we had awesome luck with. I think there is something to it. To look at it with the naked eye it is a Shad color pattern. With a camera it looks like a rainbow. This is the same lure in at two different angles.

      I picked up a ton of them on discount at Ollies in Virginia. They run $8-12 and I spotted them for $4-6, so I bought several.

        I’m a fan of Lucky Craft baits. The Pointer 78 is my favorite all around lure. Caught many species on it both fresh and salt.

          I had two of the same ones from MTB. They got absolutely smashed by schoolie stripers the first day I took them out. I was trolling both behind a splitter rig on a single rod and had quite a few doubles. I ended up snagging the rig and lost everything later that day. Until now I couldnt remember what they were, very excited to search them out and buy a few more now!

            Those were pointer 95 and in a color pattern that doesn’t appear to be made any more.

            We have picked up another 8, two for each of us. The only place I have found that color pattern for currently for sale is eBay.

            There are about 10 different styles of pointer, each in up to like 30 individual colors.
