Bandit Crappie Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Plum Point
The Bandit Crappie Lure in 2" 3/8oz Plum Point is a compact crankbait built specifically for crappie fishing. Designed to reach depths between 8 and 12 feet, this lure works well when cast on standard 10-pound line and produces the kind of searching, erratic swimming action that triggers crappie strikes throughout the water column. The Plum Point color pattern is a proven choice for visibility and attraction in both clear and slightly stained water conditions.
Whether you're working shallow brush piles, submerged timber, or open water during your crappie run, this Bandit crankbait will dig down to where the fish are holding. The small profile and moderate weight make it easy to cast and control, and it's equally effective on a simple cast-and-retrieve or when worked over structure. Bandit has a strong reputation in the crankbait world, and their 300 Series holds up well to the repeated strikes and aggression crappie fishing can bring.
Crappie anglers who want a reliable, compact deep diver that actually reaches its advertised depth and performs consistently throughout the retrieve will find this lure a solid addition to the tackle box. The Plum Point finish is especially useful when crappie are active but selective about what they'll chase down.
