All lucky craft products r worth the $ in my opinion. Pointers r GREAT!

I think the regular cranks are worth the money but I have never had much luck with the ones that are sponsored.   I have some that are 8 years old, get fished all the time and still look great.  I can't say that about many of the other crankbaits I have, including megabass.

If I only could take 1 hard bait on the boat it would be LC Pointer 78 Ghost Chartruse Shad. The cheap one don't seem to work as well for me. Try it you'll like it!

The pointers will outfish other jerkbaits a majority of the time in the lakes around here in my experience. 

I love the way that LC lures look, they are amazing.  With that said, I have never fished with one.  I fish stained to muddy water so I can't just justify paying so much for a lure that the fish isn't going to really see.  Strike King cranks flash just fine and are only 5 to 7 bucks each.  If I had clearer water that I fished more often, I would probably drop the money and try out LC cranks since in clearer water the fish can see the awesome design and colors.
