Lucky Craft Pointer 128 Jerkbait 12.8cm 1.3m 28g Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad

Lucky Craft Pointer 128 — The Flagship Jerkbait for Targeting Trophy Predators

The Pointer 128 is the largest lure in Lucky Craft's renowned Pointer series, built specifically to attract larger predatory fish through an irresistible suspending action and a subtle, lifelike rolling slide.

Suspending Action That Triggers Strikes at Rest

At 12.8 cm and 28 g, the Pointer 128 suspends motionless in the water column after each twitch, hovering at depths down to 1.3 m. During those critical pause phases, the lure emits subtle vibrations that keep predators locked on — even when they hesitate. This is precisely where big pike and perch commit.

Rolling Action with Lateral Slide Stimulates the Lateral Line

On the retrieve, the Pointer 128 performs a tight rolling action combined with a pronounced lateral slide. This movement directly stimulates the lateral line sense of predatory fish, mimicking an injured or disoriented baitfish and triggering instinctive attack responses. The lure runs quietly, making it especially effective in clear water and pressured fisheries where noise-heavy lures fail.

Choose the Right Variant

All Pointer 128 variants share the same 12.8 cm length, 28 g weight, suspending buoyancy, twitching retrieve, and 1.3 m running depth. Color selection is the key to matching conditions and target species:
