Bandit Lure 2-5' 2" 1/4oz Red Crawfish
The Bandit Lure 2-5' 2" 1/4oz Red Crawfish is a shallow crankbait built for bass and panfish anglers who want a compact, realistic profile that deflects cover without hanging up. This quarter-ounce crankbait reaches depths down to around 5 feet, making it ideal for shallow structure, weed lines, and rocky bottoms where crawfish naturally live. The red crawfish finish mimics natural prey and triggers reaction strikes from aggressive fish in spring and fall, or year-round in clear to slightly stained water.
Bandit's engineering gives this crankbait a tight, efficient wiggle that generates flash and vibration without the erratic thrashing that spooks fish in pressured waters. The snag-deflection design of the body and lip means you can work it confidently around stumps, fallen timber, and brush without constantly losing lures—a real advantage when you're covering productive but gnarly terrain on creeks and reservoirs.
Whether you're fishing from the bank, a kayak, or a bass boat, this lure earns its place in a shallow-water arsenal. The 2-inch profile casts easily on light tackle, and its modest weight loads onto 4- to 7-weight rods without overwhelming the action. Crawfish-colored crankbaits work especially well in rivers and lakes with natural crawdad populations, and this one's compact enough to round out a tackle box without taking up room for five other lures.
