    Pointer 78 XD?

    Does anyone know if this model has been discontinued because All colors are “no back orders” at TW and I can’t even find these on ebay. If they have, I would like buy all that I can if anybody has a couple or 20!

    Doesn't look to be discontinued, TW only has 4 colors on their site but they show stock in the 78XD on all 4 colors.

    Lucky Craft is notorious for doing this type of thing. I suspect they'll be gone for months then randomly show up again like nothing ever happened.

    Dang Lucky Craft, if you like one of their lures and they are in stock, better buy as many as you think you will need as they have a bad habit of discontinuing stuff for no apparent reason or explanation.

    Probably stuck on a container ship somewhere like everything else coming from overseas nowadays . You could try searching Japanese online tackle venders who ship to the US via air carriers . A lot of them will have English translations for products to figure out what you're buying .

    Thought of this the other day and forgot to post it: Any thoughts about trying the Staysee 80? It seems pretty readily available these days. To be fair, Tackle Warehouse does still have stock in a couple colors of the 78XD (and show the other colors coming back 10/30, though we know how that goes).

    They're basically the same size and weight and both will get down about 10 feet. Admittedly I've never thrown the 78XD, but have thrown the Staysee 80 and had luck with it. I'm not sure how similar the actions are between the two.
