Lucky Craft Pointer 78 1.3m 9.2g Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad

Lucky Craft Pointer 78 — Suspending Twitch Bait for Precise Predator Triggers

The Lucky Craft Pointer 78 is a 7.8 cm, 9.2 g suspending jerkbait engineered for anglers who want total control at the pause — a lure that hangs motionless in the strike zone and dares predators to commit.

Hang Time That Converts Follows into Strikes

Thanks to its suspending buoyancy, the Pointer 78 holds its depth at 1.3 m the moment you stop the retrieve. That dead-stop hang is often all it takes to trigger a reluctant perch or pike that is tracking but not yet committed. The low centre of gravity adds a subtle, lifelike vibration even at rest — a detail that sets Lucky Craft jerkbaits apart from the crowd.

Rolling Action with Lateral Slide on the Twitch

Work the rod tip and the Pointer 78 responds with a tight rolling action combined with a pronounced lateral slide — the dart-and-flash sequence that mimics a disoriented baitfish. Because it runs silent (no internal rattle), it is especially effective in clear water, post-cold-front conditions, and pressured fisheries where noise-shy trout, perch, and pike demand a more natural presentation.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same body (7.8 cm, 9.2 g, suspending, 1.3 m depth, rolling action with lateral slide, twitching retrieve). Colour is the deciding factor:

Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad — high-contrast chartreuse flanks over a silver base; excellent in coloured or low-light water when targeting perch and pike
Chartreuse Shad — similar chartreuse tone, slightly different finish; strong in murky conditions
Aurora Black — dark silhouette with aurora sheen; overcast days, stained water, pike and large perch
Ghost Minnow — translucent white; clear water, bright conditions, trout and perch
Aurora Ghost Wakasagi — translucent smelt-style pattern with aurora flash; clear to lightly coloured water, trout
Aurora Wakasagi — baitfish natural with aurora finish; all-round clear-water choice
BE Gill — gill/bluegill-inspired natural; perch and pike in vegetation edges
MS American Shad — shad natural; versatile clear-water performer
French Pearl OB — pearlescent finish; bright, clear conditions, trout and asp
Pearl Threadfin Shad — pearl shad; subtle light-water finesse option
Laser Rainbow Trout — detailed trout finish; trout waters and selective fish
Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow — translucent body with silver cheek flash; clear water, bright light
