The LC Pointers are often on sale at BPS. Usually they are unadvertised "in-store specials". You need to pick up a couple. 8-) Agreed, you can also find some good deals on ebay from time to time.

No big deal RW, as I said, I really respect your advice and think you do an excellent job on this site. I am more of a white river guy, but when I want to go Bass fishing on Bull Shoals I give BSLBD a call and check in on what is going on out there. Tim is good on that lake for sure. Don't you fish here a couple times a year? Triton Mike, thanks for the reply. As it was a cash deal with a buddy while he was closing out his store, I doubt I have a receipt, but I will call customer service or email you for return instructions as time is no factor since they have been in bag since last spring anyway.

I think I will try to contact customer service on Monday and try. Can't hurt to take 15 minutes for $45 in lures. If not, I will still use their lures, as they flat out work.

Sorry the next kvd, it was jake who answered the question. Thanks for posting too though. 8-)

Good one. My Dear Watson, something smells fishy. Just so everyone knows, I bought every one of these the store had left before they changed ownership last year around May or so. AS a friend of mine who owned the place had terminal cancer and was trying to sell the place before he died. he made me a deal on a bulk purchase, so i probably bought over 100 baits at the same time. Nearly 75 lucky crafts alone. I really don't remember if the bevy shad was bought then or not as I just noticed it when i was checking all my tackle getting ready for spring. It was already in my tackle box, so may not be related. The Slender pointers have been in a brown paper bag since last spring when i carried them out of the store. I still have the packages they came out of yesterday. They have not been in the water or in a tackle box. I am not trying to bash Lucky Craft, just asking a question of anyone who might have dealt with returning any defective baits to them. As a matter of fact, I have just about switched to using them entirely for my jerkbaits and crankbait needs. I proably have $2500 worth of their lures alone. Thanks bait monkey They have no bulges or anything that would be heat related and none of the other baits I bought were like this either. Years ago, I left a tackle storage container sitting on the deck of my boat and it was over 90 degrees that day. Every Rapala husky jerk in the box exploded, while none of the other baits did. I just asked my bait store buddy about them, and he took them all back and returned them to Rapala. They sent him all new lures at no cost, which he have to me. The only reason i asked was to get some opinions on whether it is worth the time to contact them or not. RW, I respect you, read a lot of your posts, and think you give excellent advice. We have a mutual friend in Tim "hotdawg" Curtis. I live in Mtn. home and used to guide with him when i was in college and even worked at BSLBD one summer. But i can't understand what you are referring to about the rest of the story and tires getting puntured by hooks during the accident. There was no accident. They came this way out of the package. anyway, if you want to bash me and call me a liar, send a PM. The Next KVD. thanks for answering the posted question. I think I remember reading that as well, but could not find it when i searched.

I use them for large brown trout and stripers, so I go to a 2x strong treble. the stock daiichi's bend way easy imo. I also put red hooks on the 1st and 2nd hook, and sometimes a feathered treble on the rear depending on the application. I don't use the split ring as I always use a snap instead. Anyway, back to the original question. Anyone ever sent any back that were defective? Burleynator, bet you hated to see your sooners go down to the hogs bb team that lost all 5 leading scorers from last year.

I have a couple of new slender pointers that are split down the middle. Looks like the two halves were not joined properly. I would say it is heat related except they just came out of the package like this. i noticed when I was changing the hooks and removing the front split rings. I also have a bevy shad with the same issue. My question is will Lucky Craft replace these? I bought them last season and the store they came from has changed ownership and I don't think they will honor them . Has anyone ever contacted lucky craft customer service directly? if so, were they helpful. I hope so for a $15+ bait

I use daiichi as well. order them from staminainc.com

X2 on the carolina keeper!!

I have a lucky craft Bevt Shad 65 that has a split in the middle of the underbelly of the lure from the treble hook being compressed through the body while in an overfilled storage box. My question is what kind of epoxy/sealant should I use to seal up the hole? have read of guys drilling holes and adding lead to suspend jerkbaits, so i figured whatever they use would work fo me as well. Thanks

Wild Bill Outfitter(google them ) IMHO lower end is best foats and fishing. you will be there at a good time. these are all good Maumee to Hwy 14 Bridge(Day Float) 14 bridge to rush(Day Float) Rush to White River(2 days+can be tricky getting up to ramp if White River is generating) Bring Flukes, lizards, brush hogs, buzzbait/jitterbug for night fishing let meknow if you need any more info. I am a local to that area.
