Bandit Lure 4-8' 2" 1/4oz Pearl Black Back

The Bandit Lure 4-8' 2" 1/4oz in Pearl Black Back is a versatile diving crankbait built to reach depths up to 8 feet, making it a reliable choice for freshwater anglers targeting multiple species. At 2 inches and a quarter ounce, this lure balances castability with the action and flash needed to draw strikes in various conditions. The Pearl Black Back finish provides a natural forage pattern that works across different water clarity levels, from clear to stained water.

This size and depth range puts the Bandit in the sweet spot for covering mid-range structure—ledges, drop-offs, and deep vegetation—without the need for specialty tackle or heavy line. Whether you're working a creek channel, a reservoir flat, or transitional zones, the 4-8-foot dive range lets you fish where bass, walleye, pike, and other game fish hold without dropping into the specialty-lure category.

Bandit has earned a reputation for durable crankbaits that balance quality construction with affordability, and the snag-resistant design of this lure means you can fish confidently around cover without constant hang-ups. The Pearl Black Back colorway is a time-tested pattern that doesn't require you to guess—just tie it on and let the lure do the work.
