Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Deep Diving JerkbaitThe bass are suspended at 6 feet, tight to a main lake point, and they haven't moved all morning. Standard jerkbaits can't reach them. That's exactly where the Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD was built to shine. DD stands for Deep Diver — and this 3" suspending jerkbait dives 5–7 feet, putting it right in the face of fish that are holding just out of reach of the standard Pointer 78.Like all Pointer models, the 78DD is engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates an ultra-low center of gravity. Stop the retrieve and the bait wobbles and vibrates in place — emitting a subtle, bass-calling vibration that triggers strikes from lethargic, cold-water fish. A short twitch of the rod tip sends it darting side to side in a fluid underwater walk-the-dog action. And here's a pro tip straight from the Tackle Express team: use 6–8 lb fluorocarbon on a full spool — fluoro is heavier than braid and helps the bait reach maximum depth. Braid floats and will prevent the lure from diving properly.Features Deep Diver (DD) bill dives 5–7 feet — deeper than the standard Pointer 78 Brass weight system creates ultra-low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action Ideal for suspended, lethargic fish in cold water Specs Length: 3" (7.8 cm) Weight: 3/8 oz (9 g) Depth: 5–7 ft Type: Suspending Pointer Series Comparison Pointer 65 SP: 2.5", 3/16 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending Pointer 65DD SP: 2.5", 3/16 oz, 5–7 ft, Suspending Pointer 78 SP: 3", 3/8 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending Pointer 78DD SP: 3", 3/8 oz, 5–7 ft, Suspending Recommended Setup Rod: Spinning outfit Line: 6–8 lb fluorocarbon (full spool — avoid braid, which floats and limits depth) Best For Techniques: Suspending jerkbait, twitch-and-pause, cold-water finesse Conditions: Cold fronts, winter, suspended fish, clear water Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass Perfect ForWhen bass are suspended deeper than your standard jerkbait can reach, the Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD gets down to their level and stays there.
