Overview

A thinned-out version of Lucky Craft’s Pointer Minnow, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer 97MR Jerkbait provides a leaner profile that drives bass wild, especially smallmouth and spotted bass. A product of customer input, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer 97MR Jerkbait’s action is a slight departure from the traditional Pointer action, providing a more erratic side-to-side action. While it’s lethal on all species of bass, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer 97MR Jerkbait has been optimized with features, like three razor-sharp Daiichi treble hooks, which capitalize on slashing bites associated with smallmouth and spotted bass.

Boasting Lucky Craft’s patented weight transfer system, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer 97MR Jerkbait casts like a bullet, even in the wind. Like all Lucky Craft’s suspending jerkbaits, the slender pointer suspends perfectly horizontal in the water, and will stay there no matter how long it is paused. Offered in highly realistic colors indicative of Lucky Craft’s unflinching attention to detail, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer 97MR Jerkbaits deliver a thinner profile that calls to glutenous bass.

Best 4” size rip baitMy rip bait boxes are filled to the brim with a bunch of different brands and models within brands. This is still the best rip bait in its size range, a decade after I started using them. It will run a little below 5’ on 8-10lb flouro. It combines body roll with that consistent back and forth dart of the Pointer series. It can be fished fast, it can be barely twitched in the winter. Requires tuning to suspend but all baits do as water temp change. It’s definitely good on smallies but it works great everywhere I’ve fished it. A spinning rod will help you make nice long casts in the wind but it’s heavy enough to be thrown on lighter casting gear if you are fishing around docks or seawalls. Chartreuse shad, ghost mine and bone pro blue are all you really need here…maybe a perch color if you are from the frozen north

Comments: I have tinkered with jerkbaits on and off for a few years. Different brands and styles, this sure seems to be the most consistent. I work it pretty aggressive even in low 40's.. Just a fun way to catch bass.

From: Jethro: MD 3/19/21

Comments: The slender pointer 97MR is hands down the best river smallmouth jerkbait of all time. It runs at a perfect depth of 4ft and with an erratic action that just drives smallmouths wild.  

From: Brian: West Virginia 2/1/21

Comments: This bait is simply the only one you will need to catch smallmouth in the spring in Green Bay.  The bass simply can't resist it.  Forget about the price...

From: Jeff: Iowa 2/23/17

Comments: The 97 is the best jerkbait ive found. Chartreuse shad is a great color for the Tennessee river. Ive caught largemouths and smallies on the thing. Love to throw it on fluoro so you can feel how hard they hit this thing cause its usually with serious authority. I throw it around rip rap and rock points for the smallies. Only one drawback to the thing and its that the bills break on them rather easy. Ive got 10 or 12 hanging on the wall with a broken lip. Its frustrating when their $17 a piece, but I still love the bait.

From: Will: AL

Comments: You found it! 97MR is probably the best rip bait out there. I like to think I'm kind of a big deal when it comes to rippin, so I know what's up. If you only have to buy one rip bait, here you go.

From: meatwad: rippin n sippin

Comments: i use the 97 in american shad and catch so many trout on it (big ones) i had to go get some more.i do not like to spend that much money on a jerkbait but they are very well worth it. i caught a 17 pound brown on it and several 8 to 10 punders on it also.

From: Adam: Bluff City

Comments: Used the 127 for stripers, great action and stripers are just killing this bait. It is a great bait, cast very well, shallow running compared to a 128 pointer. Chart, aurora, and ghost are best color for me.  Limit every time with these baits.

From: Ger: Fresno, CA

Comments: Picked up the 97 and took it to the river this last Feb.  I caught small mouth bass, chain pickerel, and rainbow trout all on this lure.  It suspends very nicely, almost a slow sink to it.  My buddy was fishing a Smithwick Rogue, and caught just as many as I did, so I don't know if its worth the extra 10 bucks or not.  The slender pointer is pretty durable too, I caught at least 10 pickerel, and it held up.  I wish TW had more colors to choose from.  I had to order one from Ebay to get nishiki

From: TJ: Ozarks

Comments: Comments:97 MR. Say it with me: 97 MR. MR must mean MOST RADDEST because it is just that, RAD. A good all season bait. If you have water that has clarity to it, give it a try. Looking over my ripbait box, 85% of my rippers are the what? You guessed it... 97 MR.

From: Meatwad: Out Of Town

Comments: Best rip bait out there, caught more fish on the Chartreuse Shad than any other lure I have.
