I was originally going to bring up Lucky Crafts new Pointer third, but the Loomis BronzeBack rod thread took an unexpected turn, and I though moving on to the Pointer next would help me reign in these threads a little. I am looking to make a point. Or at least discuss one. That point is not how much is too much to spend on a fishing product, or do you get what you pay for. Although those are interesting discussions and I'm glad I got to read those posts.
Lucky Craft's newest pointer is located on page 228 of the new Bass Pro Shops catalog, and can also be seen online using this link:
Lucky Craft Live Pointer at Bass Pro Shops.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Lucky Craft, they make a top of the line series of hard baits. Their cranks, topwater and jerkbaits are extremely detailed and life like. At least to anglers.
The 'Live Pointer' is a suspending jerkbait that adds a milti-segmented tail section to the list of features that make it "a reaction bait with the flowing, lifelike motion of a swimbait." It retails for $17.00. So once again we have a product from a company specializing in top of the line products. It once again offers a new marketing angle. Does it catch more fish? Or just more fishermen?
I am more likely to buy this product than the BronzeBack rod from Loomis, but only because I can understand the marketing angle on this one. Making a lure seem more naturally fishlike seems like an advantage when fishing heavily pressures lakes or when conditions are less than desirable.
That said I don't own any Lucy Craft baits. Perhaps this year will change that. So the question goes out once again. Is this new change a marketing gimmick, or does it help us catch more fish? Is anyone going to buy these jerkbaits? Will you have more confidence in them than say a Rapala Husky Jerk?
The Particulars:
Price Range: $16.99
Available In: Suspending jerkbait only, but in 5 of their more popular colors

Next up: Uh oh. It's the dancing buzzbait.
Coming soon: Lighted Lures!
