LC verse Rapala

[MBell]

Same bait as janns, people put hooks on them and try to pass them off as pointers on ebay.

My wife bought me 6 X-Raps the first year they were out. My first time out that spring I lost one on my third or fourth cast to a big toothy critter on Kent. Later that day I lost another to a big toothy critter. I never did catch a bass on one that spring.

I haven't used them much since then but I did catch a nice smallie on a white X-Rap last fall on Union Lake pre-fishing for a tourny. I am going to give them some more time on the end of my line this year.

I've used the X-raps but the LC pointers cast better, move better, look better, etc... The X-raps are like slash baits, not jerk baits. You will get reaction strkes on them because you have to move the bait. An LC pointer can sit there after a jerk or two and it will pause. They do have some great color combos to them too. Cultiva makes a bait similar to LC pointers. I've only got about 6 or seven LC's, about 4 X-raps, 8 Rogues, a few other Rapalas, 2 mirror Lures, 1 saltwater Storm and a few Thunder Sticks and about 2 Bombers. Nothing I know of beats an LC. Take the Plunge!!!!!!!!!! I forgot , I've got to buy  Ghost Minnow probably in a Live Pointer. Maybe Two for $20.00

I have used both Pointers and X-raps, and have had more success on X-raps.  I blame it on the color, because I have had no success what so ever with Aurora Black.  Just doesn't seem to work.  Threw a Glass Ghost X-rap for pre-fishing and in a tourney, brought in 3rd place with it, on a terrible day for fishing.  But, caught my biggest on practice day with a Cotton Candy Long A.  3 1/2# smallie!!!  Then a toothy critter swallowed it.  Darnit.

Ebay Ebay Ebay, you dont have to pay $20 for a LC pointer, I bought a dozen on ebay for an average of $12 a piece shipping included, and every color is on auction at some point. The sellers are reliable, no risk.
