Skeeloco Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 The segmented Pointers...why are they so hard to find? I can't find any evidence of them being discontinued. No longer available on Cabelas or Tacklewarehouse website. Was only able to find a few of the 3" on Amazon, I'm after the 4". There seems to be a fair amount for sale on eBay however. Maybe they are being discontinued? Quote

If your segmented Live Pointer outfished my Lucky Craft Pointer, I wouldn't say that the Live Pointer outfished the rigid Pointer, I'd say that YOU outfished me. "Why are they so hard to find?" The law of supply-&-demand is a self-fulfilling prophecy Quote
Super User Scott F Posted March 12, 2017 Super User Posted March 12, 2017 I saw them discounted heavily a few months ago. I don't like them myself. They tend to break in the joints. A bait that costs as much as they do should be more durable. Quote
thebillsman Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I have a few and I'm not crazy about them. Cabelas was flexing them for like $4.99 a few months ago. Quote

BassThumb Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 The wire the connects the tail segments badly throws the lure off balance. When it suspends, it hangs vertically with the nose of the bait pointing towards the water's surface. I bought quite a few from Cabela's when they were blowing them out for $5. They're terrible jerkbaits, but if worked as a crankbait with only short pauses, they're decent. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 13, 2017 Global Moderator Posted March 13, 2017 I found some for dirt cheap several years ago and bought a bunch. Fished them a few times and couldn't get rid of them fast enough. I love LC jerkbaits, but they were terrible for me. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 13, 2017 Super User Posted March 13, 2017 They never work for me either. I have had great success with them using them on a deadstick rod in a rod holder while drifting on lake Erie. Obviously they need to be worked slowly & they work better pulled rather than jerked. I have multiple baits in the color shown in the picture. 2 Quote
