Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD Jerkbait Ghost Minnow

Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD — Precision jerkbait for deep-diving predator hunting

The Pointer 78XD is a workhorse for anglers targeting pike, perch and zander in deeper zones. This 78 mm suspending jerkbait reaches depths to 3.0 metres and delivers the sharp, twitchy action that triggers bites from cautious predators. Maximum control and flexible deployment let you access fishing spots unreachable with standard crankbaits.

Deep-running performance for structure fishing

The Pointer 78XD extends the proven Pointer legacy with reliable diving to 3 metres. Its sharp, snappy jerk response and long pause phase keep the lure locked in the strike zone—critical when hunting wary pike and zander. Whether cast over deep structure or presented in tough light, the Pointer 78XD holds its action and serves as a versatile tool for multiple techniques including deep-water point jigging or poor visibility scenarios.

Trigger bites across depths with suspending stability

Whether coaxing sluggish perch or hunting winter zander, the deep running depth and suspending balance ensure your lure holds at the desired strike zone. This buys crucial seconds to draw aggressive strikes from reluctant fish. Robust hook sizes (#4 and #6) provide reliable hooksets even with powerful head shakes.

Versatile presentation across water types

The Pointer 78XD excels in multiple scenarios. Deploy it around submerged drop-offs, over deep structure, or along undercut banks. The refined body profile and balanced weight aid precise casting and controlled working—even when conditions shift. Equally at home in still lakes or flowing rivers.
