Quick take
An 80mm slow-sinking jerkbait with dual props that creates flash and vibration on twitch-pause or steady retrieves.
The Screw Pointer 80 in 238 Ghost Minnow is a slow-sinking spybait, 3.25 inches long and weighing 7/16 oz, with a diving depth of 10 ft. Its stainless blades at the nose and tail add flash and a shimmy that suits bass and walleye when fish follow but hold back. It suits anglers who want a compact slow-sinking jerkbait for clear freshwater.
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
