Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Crankbait Pearl Threadfin Shad

Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD — Suspending Jerkbait for Predator Fishing Down to 2 m

The Pointer 78DD (Double Deep) is a compact suspending wobbler from Lucky Craft that combines a rolling action with a lateral slide to trigger reaction strikes from a wide range of predatory fish.

Deadly Pause Action That Tempts Inactive Fish

At rest, the Pointer 78DD suspends motionless in the water column at depths down to 2 m, emitting a subtle, fine vibration. This hanging pause is often all it takes to convert a following fish into a committed bite — especially when predators are sluggish or pressured.

Triggering Roll-and-Slide on the Twitch

On each twitch of the rod tip, the bait responds with a sharp rolling action combined with a pronounced lateral slide. This erratic, wounded-baitfish movement stimulates the lateral line of perch, trout, pike, and other predators, provoking aggressive strikes even from fish that have seen plenty of lures.

Choose the Right Variant

All Pointer 78DD variants share the same body (7.8 cm, 9.6 g, running depth up to 2 m). The main differences lie in colour and, for some variants, swimming action.
