Museum Archive: Vintage Lucky Craft Pointer 78, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #14514

Depths of 4-5 ft (1.2-1.5 m) are the primary zone for this Lucky Craft Pointer 78, a classic Japanese minnow designed for neutral buoyancy. The silver body, marked with product code 14514, features a detailed scale pattern and black paint speckles that provide a realistic baitfish appearance. Weighing 1/3 oz (9.2 g) and measuring 3" (7.8 cm), the lure is equipped with prominent golden eyes and two original treble hooks. A condition rating of 4/5 reflects subtle signs of experience on the finish and diving lip, though the overall build remains solid and capable for species like pike and zander. The clear lip and balanced internal weighting system are built for precision casting and sustained pauses in the water column.
