Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Crankbait Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow

Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD — Deep-Diving Suspending Minnow for Triggering Reluctant Predators

The Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD (Double Deep) is a compact 7.8 cm, 9.6 g suspending minnow that reaches down to 2 m, combining a seductive rolling action with a lateral slide that few predators can ignore — available here in Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow.

Rolling Action with a Lateral Slide That Triggers Strikes

Once you work the Pointer 78DD with short twitches or pauses, it responds with a tight rolling action coupled with a pronounced lateral slide. This combination mimics a disoriented or fleeing baitfish and stimulates the lateral line of perch, trout, and pike, provoking reaction bites even when fish are feeding cautiously.

Suspending Behaviour and Fine Vibration on the Pause

At rest between twitches, the Pointer 78DD suspends in the water column at depth and emits a subtle, fine vibration. This motionless-but-alive presentation is especially effective during the cold-water months or any time predators are holding tight and need a little extra encouragement before committing to a strike.

Choose the Right Variant

All Pointer 78DD variants share the same 7.8 cm length, 9.6 g weight, and up to 2 m running depth. The main differences lie in colour finish and, for some variants, the addition of fine vibration on the pause — choose based on water clarity, light conditions, and target species.
