Last year I was having the worst fishing slump of my life. Went out to various lakes, rivers and ponds in Maryland for 2 months strait and not a single bass from April to June.
I was browsing the Bass Pro superstore in Hanover Maryland and came across this rack of lures. First impression was "damn those are expensive" $15 a pop and higher for these. Their LuckyCraft Lures. I took a chance and bought a black arura Pointer SP 62. Figured there's gotta be some reason they cost that much.
I took it out to the Magothy River in Pa
ena Maryland at a place called beachwood park and first cast, First time for this lure in the water, I landed a 26" Striped bass. Second cast ever for the lure landed me a 24" Striped bass. I actually had to pack up and leave, I hit the creel limit in 2 casts. Went back the next day and didn't quite hit anything on the first 2 casts this time but I wasn't there for 30 minutes before the first strike. I ended up with a mess of Chain Pickeral ranging from 20-30" that day. Everytime I go out with this thing I get something. What really supprised me was that I also regularly get Catfish on the lure too. Untill last year I had NEVER caught a catfish on an artificial lure. I nailed a mess of smallmouth on the lure in West Virginia ponds as well.
Over the corse of the summer I ended up replaceing the lure 3 times due to line snaps. One snap to a giant tiger muskie in Centenial Lake. Annother to a massive Striper on the Magothy and the third to a snag. I have to say that loosing a $15 lure to a snap is heartbreaking but the fish production otherwise is more then enough to make up for it.
I've never been one to advocate the "Magic Lure" myth but i gotta say this thing has been flatout the most productive lure I've ever owned.
Anyone else have experiences with Luckycraft?
