Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Crankbait Laser Rainbow Trout

Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD — Deep-Diving Twitchbait for Predator Fishing

The Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD (Double Deep) is a compact suspending crankbait that combines a rolling, lateral-slide action with a subtle hover to trigger strikes from reluctant predators at depths down to 2 metres.

Rolling Action That Triggers Lateral-Line Response

On the retrieve, the Pointer 78DD produces a distinctive rolling action paired with a pronounced lateral slide — a movement sequence that directly stimulates the lateral line of perch, trout, and pike, provoking reaction strikes even when fish are not actively feeding.

Suspending Behaviour with Fine Vibration

At rest, the lure suspends in the water column and emits a subtle, high-frequency vibration. This pause-and-hang presentation is especially effective during cold-water periods or in pressured venues where fish study a bait before committing. Vary your twitching cadence to find the retrieve that works on the day.

Choose the Right Variant

All Pointer 78DD variants share the same 7.8 cm body, 9.6 g weight, and 2 m running depth. The colour you select can make a real difference depending on water clarity, light conditions, and target species:

Laser Rainbow Trout — translucent trout-pattern finish; excellent in clear water for perch, trout, and pike; strong in natural, well-lit conditions
Aurora Wakasagi — subtle, light-refracting baitfish pattern; suited to clear to slightly stained water
Aurora Black — high-contrast dark finish; effective in low-light or overcast conditions
BE Gill — natural gill/bream-tone; good all-round colour for mixed predator fishing
Chartreuse Shad — high-visibility chartreuse; reliable in coloured or murky water
Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad — silver flank with chartreuse accents; versatile in variable light
Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow — pale, semi-transparent minnow; performs well in clear, pressured water
French Pearl OB — pearl-based finish with orange belly; good search colour in open water
Pearl Threadfin Shad — classic pearl shad pattern; dependable in moderate-clarity conditions
MS American Shad — shad-style colouration; broad appeal across species and conditions
