Lucky Craft Flash Pointer Saltwater

I was at Cabelas today and they had Lucky Craft 115s and 130s saltwater lures on sale for $7. I bought a few and considered using them for bass. Anyone ever tried the saltwater version for bass?

Haven't yet, but I found the same sale and will be trying the 130's once the water cools off. No reason they won't work.

Ive thrown the 130 a fair bit for bass. Individual user and body of water not withstanding, Ive been unimpressed with the action and catching. They look good and cast okay, but the 2 I bought were unproductive. I have one flat adjacent to a big channel that big fish stack up on, early and later in the summer. You can basically throw any bigger jerkbait/slash bait and get crushed by 5-10lbers (private lake), never a bite on the 130 in that or the other scenarios.

IMHO theres a need for quality bigger jerkbaits that hasnt totally been fufilled. Baits like Long A's work, but have unrealistic finishes and lack of weight transfer limit casting. If youre looking for big fish, ESPECIALLY if shad are around the Xrap 12 or discontinued (I think, havent looked in a while) 14 in glass ghost are my absolute confidence bait. Something about that big white lure that draws fish.

The new, large megabass vision from Icast does look like it may be the bait many of us have been waiting for.

Yep. The bigger baits do work.
