The Pointer 78SP stands out as a precision-engineered shallow crank that is buoyancy-tuned to suspend or slowly rise on pauses, giving it a natural, hesitant presentation that outperforms many mass-market cranks in pressured fisheries. While typically pricier than mainstream alternatives, its meticulous balance and premium finishes deliver technical advantages—minimal re-tuning and better strike conversion—when subtle action matters. Compared to the Rapala DT-6 it emphasizes finesse and suspending action over brute diving range.
