Bandit Lure 2-5' 2" 1/4oz Chatreuse Blue Back

The Bandit Lure 2-5' 2" crankbait in Chartreuse Blue Back is a shallow-water workhorse built for bass anglers who want a compact bait with a snappy, efficient action. At just 1/4 ounce, this shallow crankbait reaches depths near 5 feet, making it ideal for probing weedy flats, dock pilings, and rocky drops without the weight penalty of a deep diver. The tight wiggle and snag-deflecting design means you can fish it around cover without constantly getting hung up—a real advantage when you're working structure where bass actually live.

What sets the Bandit 100 apart in a crowded crankbait market is execution. Bandit Baits uses advanced molding techniques and premium plastics to deliver consistent action and durability. The Chartreuse Blue Back color pattern works in both clear and stained water, matching common forage and creating visibility when you need it. Whether you're fishing a murky farm pond or a clear reservoir, this lure casts easily, tracks true, and produces the kind of erratic darting motion that triggers strikes from bass holding in shallow zones.

This is a lure for anglers who understand that shallow-running crankbaits are often overlooked—and underutilized. It's equally at home on a spring pre-spawn bite, summer weed fishing, or fall shallows when baitfish move back to the bank. Keep a few in your tacklebox and you'll be ready for the presentations that win tournaments and fill creels.
