Lc Pointer Vs Spro Mcstick

[cotterboy2007]

the basswishes.com site is a winner. thanks for the tip.

I have also had lots of luck with the lucky craft slender pointer 112. The megabass is my favorite by a hair, but I favor the lucky craft over the Mcstick. now, I will say I am still in the evaluation period with it, and am no expert, but so far it would rank third on my list, although my bait monkey says I need all colors of the Mcstick to make a fair evaluation. I don't ever hear many folks comment on them, but hey always work good for me and run true out of the box. They are at a price level between the title baits. Do any of you Table Rock guys use these?

When it comes to online shopping, I no longer use BPS because their selection is not as good as Landbigfish.com or Tacklewarehouse.com. BPS shipping cost are ridiculous too. They charge by the amount you spend, not size or weight. I have used both the websites I listed and they each have a huge selection, competitive prices and extremely cheap and fast shipping.

GF, basically I have my baits nose point up, not too much but just alittle, don't know why but it works unreal... I had taking a FLW tour guy out in the late winter and he showed me the trick of placing the sticky weight right in front of the last hook. He out fished me 5 to 1 his was weighted mine was not!!! Same bait!!! it just allows the tail to drop down and raise the nose up as it suspends. Just go buy some Storm stick on weights and give it try, you will like it.. Now I do it to all of my stickbaits, McSticks, Pointers and Megabass..

Good Fishing

Don would the put the weight in front of the back hook and weight the front too?

Really only on the back hook works best for me.. I'm just looking for the bait to dip pit's tail down and bring the nose up when suspending.

What about colors for Table Rock? I've heard in the past chartreuse shad and Table Rock Shad for pointers, chrome shad for McSticks, and the rogue colors used in the past go from the custom purple top with chartreuse sides to the chromes and painted baits. The sexy shad colors look pretty good on the megabass lures I've seen on line. Anyone throwing any of the sexy shad colors in any of the baits? What's the best megabass colors? I've known guys to throw the clown colors also in the past. Are they still used successfully?

Pro Blue and Tenn. Shad in Megabass, also Ito natutral, and wakasagi.Sp?(looks like ghost minnow) are my suggestions.

Fin and Feather will have the McSticks on sale Saturday, Feb 13th. It's their 26th annual customer appreciation sale. Don't know anything about these baits but after listening to you guys I think I'll give them a try!

Their flier says McSticks 12.50 or two for $24.00.

I typically reach for the McStik first. I've been very happy with them.

I am still in the evaluation stage, as well. I did have my first McStick sink on contact with the water, but Tackle Warehouse replaced it with just a simple phone call. Still can't find out what is wrong with the bait. Can't see, feel, or hear any water inside or cracks in the bait. The rattles don't consistently move from the front of the bait to the rear, but the bait sinks horizonally. Oh well!

If you got a bait sinking horizontally it sounds to me like a defect. I had a McStick sinking rather quickly tail down and realized the BBs had shifted and lodged in the rear of the bait. Apparently the casting motion of loading the rod tip wedged the BBs back there in the rear of the chamber. To alleviate this from happening again I took a short piece of a paper clip and heated it quite nicely with a cigarette lighter and then I inserted it in a vertical attitude by pressing it against the tail of the bait and allowing it to melt itself into the bait. I very carefully used a dremel to trim the clip excess length and put some clear sealer over the entry point. Now the BBs cannot roll rearward quite as far and get lodged. It also helps to protect these baits from excess heat.

It is a shame that you have to do that to a bait that costs so much.
