The Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD Lure is a premium-quality deep-diving jerkbait specifically designed for anglers chasing barra, bass, and other aggressive predators in both saltwater and freshwater. With an extended diving capability of up to 3 metres (10 feet), this extra deep (XD) version allows you to cover more water quickly and stay in the strike zone longer, even during fast retrieves.

Built with a low centre of gravity using strategically placed brass weights, the Pointer 78XD produces a tight wobble and vibration during pauses and retrieves. This unique action, combined with its suspending design, makes it ideal for stop-and-go retrieves, twitching, and sub-surface “walk the dog” presentations that trigger reaction strikes from wary fish.

Straight out of the box, this lure is tournament-ready, equipped with high-quality terminal hardware and finished with Lucky Craft’s trademark paintwork for a lifelike appearance. Whether you’re targeting barramundi in the north, estuary species, or aggressive bass in deep impoundments, the Lucky Craft Pointer 78XD offers consistent performance in tough conditions.
