Bandit Lure 4-8' 2" 1/4oz Chartreuse Shad

The Bandit Lure 4-8' 2" 1/4oz Chartreuse Shad is a compact diving crankbait designed to reach depths up to 8 feet, making it a reliable choice for bass, walleye, and other freshwater species. At just 2 inches and 1/4 ounce, this lure balances castability with the reach needed to work deeper structure without sacrificing the finesse presentations that work in clear or pressured water. The chartreuse shad pattern is a proven color that triggers strikes in various light conditions, from dawn to midday and even stained water.

Bandit crankbaits have earned their reputation through consistent fish-catching design and durability. The 200-series body shape delivers a tight, natural wobble that mimics wounded baitfish, and the lure is engineered to deflect off cover and rocks with minimal snagging—a practical advantage when you're fishing around vegetation, timber, or rocky points. Whether you're casting from the bank, boat, or wading, this compact diver fits into any tackle box and works across multiple presentations: steady retrieve, pause-and-twitch, or burned back to the boat.

Stock the Chartreuse Shad in your crankbait rotation for shallow to moderate depth fishing. Its proven profile and accessible diving range make it effective for both guided trips and solo outings when you need a lure that simply works.
