Bandit Crappie Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Hotty Totty

The Bandit Crappie Lure in Hotty Totty is a 2-inch, 3/8-ounce crankbait engineered to hunt crappie in the 8–12-foot strike zone. This lure combines a searching, erratic swimming action with the compact profile crappie anglers demand, whether you're casting to brush piles, submerged timber, or working structure from a boat. Built from quality materials and finished in a proven color pattern, it's designed to trigger aggressive strikes from crappie holding in deeper water—especially effective in spring and fall when fish suspend at middle depths.

The Hotty Totty finish has earned its reputation on crappie waters across the country. Cast this lure on 10-lb line and it will dig down to the 12-foot mark, giving you coverage of the column where crappie often congregate. The compact 2-inch body lands soft and won't spook wary fish, while the built-in action does the heavy lifting—no twitching required, though you can work it if conditions call for it.

Whether you're fishing a natural impoundment, a creek arm, or a manmade lake, the Bandit Crappie Lure handles both casting and trolling presentations. It's the kind of lure that earns a permanent spot in your tackle box because it simply produces when crappie are in the mood to hunt.
