I have always used LC pointers, but i was just wondering if the jackall baits are any good.  They look very similiar in size and shape.

Are the jackalls cheaper?

Both are excellent jerkbaits, the one advantage LC has is a larger selection of colors. I expieriment a lot with jerkbaits, it's one bait category where in the spring the hot bait can change on each outing which is why I like to have a variety jerkbaits in various colors & sizes to choose from, that is why I have 2 plano boxes stuffed with them when I go fishing. Two others that have made a real good impression are the Ima Flit & Megabass Trick Darter.

In my experience, the Jackalls swing as wide as the LCs, and stop noticably quicker.  Because they stop noticably quicker, they look more erratic to me.  I like Jackalls better but either are fine. 

I have both also. My success has been with the LC baits over the Jackall but I have faith that the Jackall can work here too but have had no success as of yet with it.

The pointer 78 is the top producing jb on this lake (norman) due to our small forage which may explain why the squad minnow does not perform as well.

My all time favorite however is the Spro McStick, it has outfished the LC's for me 10-1 and I own a lot of pointers, slender pointers, and stacey's. I've yet to get a bite on the squad minnow and I have 3 of them @ $15/each...

They are for sale if you want em for a lot less, I'll buy more Spro's they are really great. PM me if you are interested, the squad minnows I have are in the sexy shad color scheme.

The one new bait that I really want to try is the new LC Silent Pointer which I think will be terrific. My only hesitation with it has been that it's available in the 100 size only not the 78 and that profile is big for here but no rattle and suspending makes me want to give it a go anyway. There's no doubt the bait monkey will ring my doorbell yet again and I'll get one in clear chart and start throwing it when we get down in to the 50's water temp wise. He stops by here quite a bit and then the UPS man stops by after that...
