Just wondering if anyone has ever bought any of the Springer 78 Jerk Baits from Jann's Netcraft? They look almost identical to the Lucky Craft Pointer's. Has anyone used them with any success?

I was actually wondering the same thing.  I was planning a trip up to where netcraft has their showroom, and I wanted to take a look at those, but I would like to hear how well they have performed for anybody else.

they look very similar i was thinking they was really close to Lucky Crafts.

anyone?

Look similar? A little

Work similar? Nope

However if your water is infested with toothy critters,you won't mind losing these compare to a $15 Lucky craft lure.

I have a few...but for the life of me i forgot where they are now.

I haven't tried the Springer 78's, but have several of the Springer 100's.  I also have LC Pointer 100's.  I use the Springers more than the LC's due to toothy critter risk, but I like the Pointer action better than the Springer.  At rest, the LC's remain level or close to level and just sort of hang there in the water with maybe a slight quiver.  The Springers are nose heavy and tend to drop, nose down, at rest, so you have to keep them moving more than the Pointers.  I have caught fish on both, however, so the Springers do catch fish.  If the fish will hit an aggressive retrieve, I suggest using the Springers.  If you have to slow down your cadence to induce strikes, then I would suggest using the Pointers.

well i guess i will half to spend the extra money.

I have both and I couldn't have said it better myself.
