Lightning Pointer 100DD MG-S – Long Cast. Deep Strike. Sonar Perfect. As modern bass fishing evolves, so too must the tools we use. With the rise of Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) technology, anglers are no longer fishing blind—they’re targeting individual fish with surgical precision. But even with real-time visibility, one key challenge remains: getting your lure into the strike zone without alerting the fish. That’s where the Lightning Pointer 100DD and its MG-S (sinking) version come in. Crafted for extreme castability, accurate depth control, and perfect balance, the Lightning Pointer 100DD series is a new breed of jerkbait designed specifically for sonar-based fishing. With a magnetic weight transfer system and a streamlined profile, it not only casts farther than traditional jerkbaits—it reaches fish that are otherwise untouchable during tough seasonal transitions. Enter the Lightning Pointer 100DD MG-S – Coldwater Control In winter, or anytime water temperatures drop below the bass activity threshold, suspending jerkbaits often don’t go deep enough—or sink fast enough—to reach inactive fish seen on sonar. That’s why developed the Lightning Pointer 100DD MG-S, a sinking model with the same size, profile, and magnetic weight transfer system as the original. This version is fine-tuned to descend quickly but controllably through the water column, allowing anglers to reach suspended or bottom-hugging bass in 15 feet of water or more, depending on line and fall time. Unlike fast-sinking lipless baits that may fall too aggressively or spiral out of control, the MG-S version maintains a natural fall angle and horizontal profile—essential for realistic presentations. Because of its aerodynamic body and dense construction, the MG-S casts even farther than the suspending model, allowing anglers to stay back from sonar-visible bass, avoiding sonar ping detection and minimizing pressure on spooky fish. In essence, it lets you fish deeper, more precisely, and more stealthily than ever before. Built for Forward Facing Sonar Efficiency Both the standard and MG-S versions of the Lightning Pointer 100DD were engineered with FFS compatibility at their core. Here’s how they meet the unique needs of today’s sonar anglers: 1. Long Casts to Avoid Spooking Fish With sonar, you can see where the fish are—but getting close enough without pushing them away is a constant struggle. The magnetic weight transfer system in both models gives you the ability to cast beyond your target, then retrieve back through the strike zone, minimizing direct sonar ping exposure. 2. Target-Specific Depth Control The standard Pointer 100DD suspends in the 7 ft range. The MG-S version can be counted down to 15, or even 20+ feet, allowing you to match the precise depth you see bass holding on your sonar screen. Adjust your count-down before each retrieve to "hover" exactly in front of a fish’s face. 3. Hovering and Fall Behavior Fish marked on FFS often follow but don’t strike—unless the lure stops and stays long enough. The 100DD suspends with a slight forward tilt, mimicking a dying baitfish. The MG-S sinks horizontally, with subtle tail-wagging motion on descent—mimicking natural prey and enticing neutral fish to strike as it falls through their zone. 4. Sonar Visibility and Flash With its flat sides and high-flash finish, the Lightning Pointer returns a strong sonar signal, making it easy to track in real-time on your screen. This visibility helps anglers adjust retrieve speed, pause timing, and direction mid-presentation based on fish reaction—all key to maximizing strike conversion. Cold Water, Deep Fish, and Seasonal Transitions The Lightning Pointer 100DD truly excels in winter, late fall, and early spring, when bass tend to: Suspend in deeper water off secondary points and breaks Hold tight to bottom near ledges or creek channels Refuse to move vertically or chase baits aggressively These fish can be clearly located on FFS—but without the right lure, they remain uncatchable. The MG-S model gives you the ability to: Approach quietly from a distance Count down to the correct strike depth Present the bait slowly and naturally Hover in their field of vision without rising out of the strike zone For anglers using sonar, it eliminates the guesswork and allows total vertical control over every retrieve. Premium Hardware and Saltwater Capability The Lightning Pointer 100DD and MG-S are constructed using ’s time-tested materials and components: High-strength treble hooks – Ready for largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass, and even inshore saltwater species like halibut and sea bass. Salt-resistant split rings – Hold up to harsh environments and repeated use. UV-resistant paint and foil finishes – Maintain brilliant flash and realism over time. Internal rattle system – Emits a subtle, low-frequency knock that resonates through water but doesn’t overpower pressured fish. Whether you’re fishing reservoirs, deep ledge lakes, or even brackish estuaries, this lure is built to last—and perform. Color Options – Optimized for Sonar Visibility and Forage Matching The Lightning Pointer series is offered in a wide range of premium finishes that work with sonar visibility, forage profiles, and environmental lighting: Aurora Black / MS American Shad – Ideal for clear water, high visibility, and matching baitfish Ghost Minnow / Ghost Chartreuse – Subtle flash and semi-transparency for finesse conditions FFS All Chrome – Designed to reflect maximum sonar signal and imitate a fluttering spoon Be Gill / Bone Pro Blue – Realistic color and shadow contrast for pressured lakes Silver Cheek Ghost Minnow – A soft reflective profile perfect for wintertime visibility Every detail is meant to catch fish—and your target’s attention—whether by eye or sonar. Pro Tips for Fishing the Lightning Pointer 100DD & MG-S Use 10–14lb fluorocarbon for the standard model; go lighter (8–10lb) for deeper MG-S countdown control. In winter, count the MG-S down 10–15 seconds before beginning the retrieve. Mix long pauses (5–10 sec) into your jerk-pause retrieve, especially in cold water. Track the lure on FFS—adjust pause length or direction based on how the fish follows. Use the FFS All Chrome or Ghost colors in clear lakes with deep suspending bass—these are easiest to track on sonar and mimic real bait movement.
