Lucky Craft Pointer 128 Jerkbait 12.8cm 1.3m 28g Pearl Threadfin Shad

Lucky Craft Pointer 128 — The Big Predator Jerkbait That Hangs and Hunts

The Pointer 128 is the largest lure in Lucky Craft's iconic Pointer series — a 12.8 cm, 28 g suspending jerkbait built to target pike, large perch, and other sizeable predators with precision and finesse.

Suspending Action That Keeps Predators Locked On

At 28 g and 12.8 cm, the Pointer 128 casts with authority and dives to a running depth of 1.3 m. Its suspending buoyancy means that when you pause the retrieve, the lure holds its position in the water column — stationary, neutral, irresistible. Even during rest phases, it emits subtle vibrations that trigger attention from nearby predators and convert follows into strikes.

Rolling Action and Lateral Slide Stimulate the Lateral Line

On every twitch, the Pointer 128 responds with a tight rolling action combined with a pronounced lateral slide. This combination mimics an injured baitfish perfectly, stimulating the lateral line sensory system of predators and triggering aggressive attack reflexes. The lure is relatively quiet in operation, making it especially effective in clear or pressured waters where subtlety outperforms noise.

Choose the Right Variant

All Pointer 128 variants share the same 12.8 cm length, 28 g weight, suspending action, 1.3 m running depth, and twitching retrieve technique. The only difference between them is colour — choose based on water clarity, light conditions, and target species:

Pearl Threadfin Shad — natural baitfish finish; versatile choice for clear to slightly coloured water, great for pike and larger perch
MS American Shad — subtle shad pattern; works well in clear water under bright conditions
Laser Rainbow Trout — trout-imitating finish; effective in rivers and lakes where trout are present as prey
Aurora Black — dark, high-contrast profile; ideal for low light, overcast days, or stained water
French Pearl OB — pearlescent finish with contrast; good all-round colour for variable conditions
Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad — high-visibility chartreuse accent; productive in murky or coloured water
Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow — translucent silver profile; excels in clear, bright conditions
Ghost Minnow — semi-transparent natural minnow pattern; a go-to for clear water and cautious fish
BE Gill — gill-detail finish; natural look for pressured or clear-water situations
Chartreuse Shad — bold chartreuse; reliable trigger colour in low-visibility or off-colour water
