YeahSure Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Are they worth the money in your opinion? I have never used one, but was wondering if they were that much better than other lures? I was interested in picking up some of their crankbaits, the finishes look amazing. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 I dont have any of their cranks, but I really like the pointer and slender pointer jerkbaits. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 Are they worth the money in your opinion? Yep. If I lose one, its replacement will be just like the one I lost. Can't say that for many other brands. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 I am not sold on their jerks. I have a bunch of them and the Rapala Xraps sent them to the bottom of the box last winter. Quote
bassfanatick Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Hi Bdubb, I cant vouch for any other lucky craft but the pointer has been working good for me. A lot of largemouth and striped bass have fallen victim to it. Quote
Super User Tin Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 Do they catch fish? Yes Are they worth the money? No because there are better and cheaper options out there. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 The Pointer 128 is my favorite lure, the 100 a close second. I think they are worth the full list price, but with some effort you can find them at better prices. The most I have paid is around $13, the least was $5. 8-) Quote
Big-O Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Really nice baits IMO and if I fished cranks and jerkbaits, I'd fish'em the pointers are one of their most popular baits to date. www.ragetail.com Quote
Jake. Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Other than the Live series, I think they are worth the cash. Quote
BassinSoldier Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 My pointers and sammies have numerous fish under their belts...Loved them both unconditionally until recently, when I had my PB smallie break one of the VMC trebles on my sammy! Quote
Primus Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Like all of the major manufacturers they have some great baits and some duds. I would reccomend most of their jerkbaits especially the Pointer. The Sammy is one of the better walking style baits out there, a great addition for anyone that likes topwater. Almost forgot about the Gunfish which is another cool topwater bait. The one Lucky Craft product that I can't do without would be their silent version of the RC cranks that are available at Bass Pro shops. The 1.5 size is the best all around size but the 0.5 & 2.5 size have also been a key part of my cranking arsenal the past few seasons. This is easily my favorite product and they have stuck a lot of fish for me the past few years. They typically run app $ 15, but Bass Pro usually offers them on sale a couple of times per year at $ 9.99 ea., this is when I load up on these baits. Quote

Lucky Crafts are quality baits hands down. You really get what you pay for. Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted November 17, 2009 Super User Posted November 17, 2009 They have great colors, great finish, and great components. I have done very well with them. I love lucky crafts. You can find them for $10 a few times a year at BPS. Quote
BobP Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Are they worth it? Depends on how much value you see in buying plastic baits with very high build quality. If a LC works well, you can buy another assured that it will work just like the first one. Most other brands have less quality control. To me, spending $15 once is better than wasting time and money (especially time fishing!) on a different brand with hit or miss quality. It might even end up being cheaper. That said, L.C. doesn't build every bait that a crankbait junkie needs. IMO, they tend to have dependable but conservative action compared to some. And they don't make the wood baits that every boy needs, either. My fave LC's are the R.C. baits sold by BPS, the CB200, and the Staysee 90SP. Quote

Agreed (I also ultra-dig the Staysee....my #1 for winter/early spring). Quote
JWallin Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I love my rick clunn 1.5s. They catch more fish than anyother crank I have ever used. The 2.5 and 3.5's usually land bigger fish. The best lure I have ever bought. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted November 18, 2009 Super User Posted November 18, 2009 Yes they are. I started with one plano box with a few and am now working to fill my second box. Quote
SkilletSizeBass. Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I caught and released one of the biggest fish I've ever caught, 25" & 9lb. on a LC Moonsault chart./shad..My brother and I like to broke our necks running to BPS after we got home to buy more, and have only caught a few keepers since then on them . So, now I got a nice selection of them anyway. ;D Quote
