Bigchunk Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Lc pointers/flash pointers are my go to, have x raps, but not my favoite anymore, im not paying for megabass so what are you guys throwing in the spring? Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Some others to check out are the Spro McStick, the Jackall Squad Minnow and some of the Duo jerkbaits. Quote
thebillsman Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 try the luck e strike rick clunn stx's.. the hooks are a little weak but some owner st36's work well. They're megabass clones at a quarter of the price and actually fish alright. My 110s suspend great out of the box but the I've always had to tune the smaller variant, 90s? Nothing beats a pointer though.. Quote
Molay1292 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Academy H2O jerkbaits fish well and have a nice finish. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 28, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 28, 2015 I've been fishing custom painted 110 blanks with great success for half the price of a Megabass. Quote
Hogsticker Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Yo Zuri, spro, and Ima Flits are my stand outs. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Yo-Zuri 3DB jerkbait is very good, for less erratic acton you can go to the Yo-Zuri 3DS minnow. The Elite 8 Rattlin' Rogues have been fantastic and my best value award goes to the Storm Twitch Stick!!! The Storm Twitch Stick is an incredible $5 bucks at TW but it has good hooks that are pretty stout and it has a triggering property that I only ever saw on a Luck Craft Pointer, when you stop it dead after a few rips, it has a little wobble or vibration, awesome bait and even if it was 48 or $9 bucks I'd still get some. The size 10 suspends pretty good between 54 and 48 degrees, the size 8 needs a single suspend dot. If you shop at Cabelas they have an exclusive Rogue called the G-Finish Rogue, those are getting used a lot when I have sunny conditions, the black glass and Tennessee Shad have been my favorites with an honorable mention on Tablerock Shad when it is overcast and the water has a slight stain. 1 Quote
rangerjockey Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 My second choice after the Mega bass has always been the McStick. After that, Pointers and Rogues. Quote
PAGreg Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I just picked up a couple of the new lc lightning pointers. Seem to be pretty decent for $8.99. You can tell they arr a slightly cheaper version of the flash pointer, but they still have good finishes and action. Quote
Logan S Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 My favorites are Megabass, but you don't want those...After that it's XRaps and Pointers, which you already have . Besides those, the only ones left in my box that see much use are the old standby Smithwick Rogues and more recently Duo Realis. Every bass fisherman should have at least one Rogue in their box and I've been impressed with the Duo baits I have, so I'd vote for those two. When you want to come to the darkside, the Vision 110's are waiting to catch fish for you . 2 Quote
bunkerbstr Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I recently picked up some Shadow Raps and SK jerkbaits. Caught fish on the SK but haven't done anything on the Shadow Raps yet. I'm with pretty much everyone else on here, if you can spend $20 on one jerkbait, get a 110 - pick your color and just get one (shiner/shad something like that). I have tried them all and honestly, there is something special about those darn 110's. I wish it wasn't true but it is... Quote
Super User OkobojiEagle Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Pointer 75 & Slender Pointer 97 oe Quote
IDUTBass Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Anybody here use the Evergreen jerkbaits? I just picked one up but havent got to use it much. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted October 28, 2015 Super User Posted October 28, 2015 Another fan of the previous mentioned Storm Twitch Stick, very very good "bang for the buck". I also like the SK KVD's. 1 Quote
NathanW Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 try the luck e strike rick clunn stx's.. the hooks are a little weak but some owner st36's work well.

Nothing beats a pointer though.. Yep. Just stay away from the smaller STX (3.75"). You cannot cast it. Agree that nothing beats an LC Pointer. Flash Minnows will catch em good too when you are fishing shallow flats. Quote
Ginosocalbass Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Wierd to think someone would put money into Lucky Crafts but draw the line at megabass due to the price. Quote
PourMyOwn Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Rapala HJ 10 on 6 lb fluorocarbon, another rod with 8lb. I think there's a good bang for the buck with them, as they come with what I think are good hooks already. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 LC 78-100's is pretty much what I throw. Some Rick Clunns. Quote
Jaw1 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I'm a mega *** but the rick clunn knockoffs have caught plenty of fish for me. As mentioned above the hooks are week but I do not change hooks for fun fishing. I have some of everything mentioned above and catch fish on them all but the 110 just out catches the rest. I plan on trying the duckett jerkbaits that are very similar in appearance to a 110 Quote
RB 77 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I occasionally throw X-Raps and Daiwa DB's. The Pointers are the real deal though. The first "expensive" bait that convinced me that some "pricier" baits are worth the investment. Now you wont catch me with out my Gunfish either. Quote
Bigchunk Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Wierd to think someone would put money into Lucky Crafts but draw the line at megabass due to the price.15 for pointer 25 for mb thats a big difference Quote
