Get Offme Fish Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 So I have decided to spend some extra $$$ and pick a few of these up. I fish in mostly clear lakes So my question: WHich ones should I get. I was figureing a Sammy and RC but what others. and what size and colors should I get. Thanks... Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 I like the MS american shad the best in RC2.5DD and moonsault CB200. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 I would probably a few of the RC's, a few pointers, and a sammy or two. With the Lucky Craft baits, at least for me, the color choice is the hardest part Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 add a pointer 78 and a pointer 100 to the mix. ghost minnow. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 I own a lot of Lucky Craft baits. It isn't that they actually catch more fish, its the consistency of identical baits that is the big selling point for me. I know if a Northern Pike takes off with my Pointer 100 in Aurora Black, that its backup will work exactly like the one I lost. I can't say the same for some other big name manufacturers. To add to your list: Pointer Pointer DD Gunfish Staysee Flash Minnow LVR and finally a new one I added to my box o' producing baits: Slim Shad Up here, we have alewife galore, so MS American Shad and Aurora Black work well.

bass wrangler569 Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Sammys and RCs are definitely awesome baits, but you should make sure to pick up a pointer as well, especially since you said you fish clear lakes. If you only get one pointer my suggestion would be size 100 in ghost minnow, you can't beat it in clear water. You can never go wrong with ghost minnow, chartreuse shad, American shad, or baby bass.

Super User CWB Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 Check ebay. Sometimes you get lucky. Last year I picked up 4 live pointers, new in package, for $10.00 shipped. Quote
Get Offme Fish Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks guys that really narrows it down thats about $200+ What size sammy should I start w/ the 85 or 100 Quote
cbfishalot Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Sammy: Aurora Black Staysee: Ghost Minnow and Chart Shad Slender Pointer: Ghost Minnow RC 1.5: Chart Purple Back or Chart Black Back and Ghost Minnow SK DD: Chart Shad Total: $110.00 Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted May 30, 2009 Super User Posted May 30, 2009 So I have decided to spend some extra $$$ and pick a few of these up. That's a good idea . A while back I picked up a Sammy knock-off -$2 ! I changed the hooks on it and it fished well. I caught a bunch on it. SO I bought s'more . The next one sat tail straight down :. Another lay on it's side . The third was tail down too >. So I took out the drill and epoxy and went to town. Took me all night but I gave each one the proper attitude. -and new hooks of course. A couple Sammy's would have saved me the trouble . Quote
CODbasser Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 any of the baits are good, but dont buy the live pointers they suck bad...total junk.... the pointer 78 and 100 are great choices, atleast get one pointer in ghost shad...sammy is good in about any color..i like the small one...rc are good in ms american shad... all of em are good but the pointer 78 is the most dependable fish catcher for me Quote
TrippyJai Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I rarely buy expensive baits because I often lose a crankbait here and there fishing it in weedy places, but I will agree on getting a couple of sammys and pointers. They look really nice. I don't spend enough time on the water fishing jerkbaits to tell you they out fish the x-raps. or any other lower cost jerkabaits. They are indeed really good eye candy though and I doubt you can go wrong in purchasing them. Quote
michaelkim_9582 Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 I just picked up 11 of varietys of lucky crafts at joes for around 70-80 bucks. amazing deal on my part. they were having a 60% off sale and I live in oregon so theres no sales tax. I would highy recommend getting some pointers and skeet reese deep and shallow divers. Quote
