Lucky Craft Disease

Post by lostboy45b » Mon Feb 13, 2017 11:15 pm

Hi I am a Lucky Craft lure junkie. I can't help it. They work, period. If I see new offering from them or something different from them I start shaking and sweating lol. I don't think an 8 step program will help me. I tried to change my ways and use Evergreen and Megabass but it's not the same. I always go back to LC. (This is all personal opinion)

Are you a Lucky Craft addict? Post a pic or describe your favorite Lucky Craft lure.

They make effective lures, so, nope, there isn't a lot of help for you. :lol: :lol:

I think that the classical leader cranks, "bland" by most Japanese manufacturers standards, are really effective. Of course, the Pointers are highly effective as well. But for me, the Classical Leader cranks are underappreciated within the Lucky Craft line.

I must have it. Every year, it becomes more difficult to find my favorite color pointer. I've hoarded every last one I could find.

I really wish Lucky Craft would sell direct to the customer on-line. Most of the US vendors only sell the larger sized pointers.

I think Tackle Direct sells a lot of the smaller sizes, since they are an every species shop, not a bass oriented shop. And TW sells a lot of 78's and 97's...depends on how small you're talking.

Check out ebay seller "i love hardbait." He (or she) has a pretty extensive line of LC baits. They could probably get the color you are looking for if they don't have it.

You don't need help... you just need more money and more space to store them all. :big grin: :big grin:
The Pointer MRs are my go to jerkbaits. Out fishes everything else I have ever tried.
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

My wife said I don't want to see another Lucky Craft package laying around. Yes dear. So I take them out of the package in my truck ;)

I had the LC disease, but I'm cured now, Lol.

I was addicted to the Rick Clunn Series crankbaits. I remember, many years ago when the RC series first came out, I was buying two-3 lures a week from bass pro shop for an extensive period of time, just to have them stocked in my arsenal, because.....as mentioned, they just work really damn well for me. I didn't know they would be even more popular today, and a bit more expensive; as most good things that are discontinued. I have a bin full of new RC0.5, 1.5, 2.5 in all different colors ( SqBill/ DeepD ) I intend to keep unused for memorabilia.

Bad time to be a LC aficionado with all of the discontinued SKUs.

Here's something you will thank me later for. Fisherman's Central.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, they haven't offered that size/color combo for a while. I'll try contacting them and see if they can do a special order. I river fish from a kayak, and typically lose a couple of pointers a year. When the current is swift, it's sometimes best to sacrifice one snagged lure than to lose all your gear or break a rod tip.

Same strip mall...Down a few storefronts. Much nicer than LBF was and with a better selection if you can believe that. Awesome store.
