Lucky Craft's Pointers are incredibly productive baits that feature an extremely low center of gravity and special brass weights which cause the Pointers to actually vibrate on the pause! Absolutely deadly with any type of stop-and-go retrieve, Pointers are widely considered to be miracle baits since they have the power to entice strikes from bass, musky, trout and almost every other gamefish species.
The river i live of is sort of like a lake and it is muddy and a little weedy i know there is huge bass but i need a outstanding lure to crank out bass.
That will work for the ones over 12. I think you can select for bigger fish that way, but most fish can consume another fish 1/3 it's size. Keep to the "match the hatch" for trout. Know what minnows are in the pond you're fishing. They will also cannibalize so you can use a (rainbow?) trout pattern.
I believe the 2-1/2 in size will work provided that there is presently forage of approximately that size/color in the area. Generally as a rule though, "stockers" will hit just about anything that will fit in their mouth's!
Yes, pointers can be trolled and walleye love 'em. I troll the 78SP size on 10 lb. Stealth for Missouri walleye in ghost minnow on bright days and Table Rock Shad on cloudy days. Hooks are sticky, so don't forget your lure retriever. :-)
Worked for me! Took the 128 (color #70) on an Ontario fishing trip. Very first fish was a 36" pike, also caught another nice pike and a large walleye on it before I lost it to a snag. I'm here looking for a new one, lol!
Your colors selection should be blacks or chartreuse colors. I dont use alot of jerk style baits in muddy water. I tend to use crankbaits more in muddy situations,or spinnerbaits.
There are a couple of ways you can go about it. Chartruese, orange, anything firetiger or perch will work. Conversely, you can use dark contrasting colors like black or brown or blue to standout more.
I used the Aurora Green (#80) in water that was pretty much chocolate milk during a big wind storm. Visibility was zero; once my bait was under the surface I could no longer see it. I caught bass consistently all day long on it with some pike sprinkled in as well.
I have found that the gold hues tend to work well in muddy water, but this bait has the added benefit of sound. Any of the "prism" tape pattern's will provide the flash you're looking for and the rattle's vibration will let them know it's there. I use a snapping retrieve with a generous pause to get that reaction strike!
I fish some stained watersheds here in Wisconsin, where the clarity is only about 2-4 feet. Aurora black and aurora gold are my favorites to give me flash when fished as a jerk bait, while the more florescent varieties are better for stop and go retrieves.
perch and american shad are my go to colors.... Also, check out the silent pointers when the ones with rattles are only getting follows it can make them eat it in super clear water
