Quick take
An 80mm slow-sinking jerkbait with dual props that creates flash and vibration on twitch-pause or steady retrieves.
The Aurora Black Screw Pointer 80 is a slow-sinking spybait, 3.25 inches long at 7/16 oz. Its blades at both ends add a shimmy as it falls and a ripple on the retrieve, a pattern that suits suspended bass and smallmouth in early summer. It is a finesse option for pre-spawn fish and for clear reservoirs.
Best for
- Clear freshwater where fish follow but hesitate to commit
- Finesse presentations on rocky structure and current lines
- Matching small baitfish and herring profiles
Skip if
- You need a floating or faster-sinking presentation
- You fish heavy vegetation or dense timber
Strengths
- Dual props add flash and subtle vibration on every twitch
- Slow sink allows precise depth control and pauses
- Compact size cuts wind resistance for accurate casting
Trade-offs
- Small profile limits hook-up size for trophy fish
- Dual props may tangle line on hard casts
- Slow sink means slower bottom coverage on deep flats

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
