I think it comes down to which one you have confidence in.

I get my Pointers on E-Bay and X-Raps there and when on sale at BPS.

Losing an X-rap hurts a little less than a Pointer. Pike and Musky love them.

Anyone else like Bomber Long A's? I've caught more fish on this than first 2 combined, but have been using it for 20+ years.

They just started selling Long A's at my local Wal-Mart and I picked up a few of 'em. They had Smithwick's as well... Very nice change since they haven't updated the fishing section in a long time!

Lost my Pointer already. :'( :'( :'(

I feel your pain, I lost three brand new pointers the last tournament I fished, two to snapped line and one to a big muskie (swallowed my 128). The week before that I lost one at the boat when a 5.5lb smallie slipped out of my hand and broke my line (that one hurt the most :'()

i allways have fished xraps and loved them so i decided to try a pointer and i was very dissapionted i have yet to catch a fish on it

The Pointer is just like any other lure, you have to fish it when the situation calls for it. You can't just throw it out any time and expect to catch bass. Try fishing it in the same time of year that you have had success with X-Raps, then you can make a fair decision if you like them or not.

I quit counting after losing 7+ X-Raps/Husky Jerks to toothy critters last season. If they were pointers, I would have been too sick to fish. I just can't justify paying that much more money when they are all very similar.

The LC Pointers hands down! The bait suspends forever and is very durable. I don't mind paying more money for a quality bait such as these.

stick to x-raps and long a's

I fish Rogues and X-raps, and the Rogues are more consitent catchers for me.

Sorry, never tried a Pointer.

Pointer cannot be beat when the water temps are in the upper 30s and low 40s. I sometimes have leave the bait sit there for 1 min before twitching it. The pointer will suspend there perfectly. Xraps are great too when the fish are more active. Both have a spot in the tackle box.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the LC Staycee 95. That lure might be the best of them all.

The LC Pointers are often on sale at BPS. Usually they are unadvertised "in-store specials". You need to pick up a couple.

I fish both, and I can honestly say my X-Raps outfish the Pointers.

Agreed, you can also find some good deals on ebay from time to time.

Pointer hands down

I would rather use the Pointers, but I use X-Raps more.  The reason:  I would rather lose my $7 X-Rap to a Pike than my $15 Pointer.  I think I mentioned this in another post of mine---I HATE PIKE >!!!
