_heavydutyload_ Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 yesterday i was using an LC pointer 100 with 10lb fluorocarbon line and i noticed that it would slowly sink when paused. i'd rather have the pointer truly suspend rather than sink. is it sinking because of the fluorocarbon line? water temp (45-49)? or did i just get a slow sinking pointer? thanks!

Super User roadwarrior Posted March 18, 2009 Super User Posted March 18, 2009 Although it's possible you have a defective lure, I suspect it's the line. I have been "collecting" these lures for a number of years and have never had a defective Lucky Craft. 8-) Quote
Pitchinkid Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I think your right on. Water temp and Flouro combintation IMO would cause this. Any real cuurent where you are fishing? water movent can also push it around Quote
_heavydutyload_ Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 no current. must be the line because last year i had the same problem with the smaller size pointer as well. what line is recommended? mono i would guess, the water is too clear for braid. thanks for the replies. Quote
fathom Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 with mono, the pointer will suspend perfectly at 55 degrees or lower...over 55 and they slowly sink. fluorocarbon will cause a pointer to sink very slowly no matter what the temp. Quote
