Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Crankbait Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad

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

The Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD (Double Deep) is a compact suspending crankbait built for anglers who want precise depth control and a triggering action that works even when fish are reluctant to commit.

Suspending Action That Provokes Strikes on the Pause

At 7.8 cm and 9.6 g, the Pointer 78DD reaches depths of up to 2 m and holds position the moment you stop the retrieve. In that suspended state it produces a subtle, fine vibration — a deadly trigger for perch, trout, and pike during low-activity windows. Fish can inspect the lure without it drifting away, giving them the moment they need to decide.

Rolling Retrieve with a Lateral Slide

On the move, the Pointer 78DD combines a rolling body action with a pronounced lateral slide that pushes pressure waves directly into a predator's lateral line. A sharp twitch followed by a pause drives the erratic, wounded-baitfish behaviour that turns follows into takes. The Silver Cheek Chartreuse Shad finish blends a reflective silver flank with a high-visibility chartreuse back — effective in off-colour or slightly stained water.
