I like the Lucky Craft 100 I also like the ones Strike King has in the clown color. I fish mine on 8-10 lb flouro

Does anybody use a spinning rod? I normally used a baitcaster, but I have used a spinning rod for my pointer 78---easier to cast in the wind and also farther.

[kylakenitro]

I use a spinning rod if its really windy or if i wanna cast a smaller bait

Lucky Crafts are definitely worth the money. Rarely ever (I haven't yet) lose a pointer. They only run about 6 feet deep, so you can usually knock them loose. But usually I am fishing them in 10+ feet of water, so the most likely thing I am going to get hung on is a bass' mouth.

I really like the action and flash of the slender pointer over the regular pointer's too.

One of my favorites is a 5 inch broke back red fin. Its chrome with a red fin on both sides. My boss was telling me bout it and decided to get one. Caught many of fish on it. Dont remeber who makes it believe Rapalla.

Luckycraft pointers rule; especially the 78 if you get on them. I throw them on a chronarch mg50 with 10# gamma FC. Paired with a loomis MBR782, I could fish the rig all season long if the fish let me

I have a few other brands but they don't cast as well as a pointer and I've not gotten on the fish with the others like the 78's.

The color would relate to water clarity and cloud cover. My belief is that you need about 3ft of visibiltiy to make a jerkbait effective.

What else? Pointers...... The truth is I have caught a few on the pointers at different times of the year, but I really can't wait to pull a bandit over a stump lined creek ledge!!

pointers are worth the $, catchin a few on em already . Clear water is where I like to fish em, nishiki is what I like (clown)
8 lb P line, almost always on a spinning rod med. action. I like steep rock banks but also throw around GRASS and deeper docks.

Red Fins are made by Cotton Cordell.

Hot Rod---you letting all of your secrets out????? Hey---how's the knee doing?

I've got to get me some Nishiki's 97 Slenders---all I keep hearing about is clown color lately. I have some in clown, but may need to get some more. Thanks
