Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Blue Splatter Back

The Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz in Blue Splatter Back is a diving crankbait built for anglers who want a reliable search bait that covers water quickly and triggers aggressive strikes. This lure reaches depths of 8 to 12 feet on standard casting line, making it ideal for working structure and suspending gamefish throughout the water column. Whether you're fishing lakes, reservoirs, or moving water, the Blue Splatter Back finish cuts through varying light conditions and matches natural forage patterns that bass, walleye, pike, and similar predators recognize as prey.

The 2-inch profile and 3/8-ounce weight strike a balance between castability and diving efficiency. You can throw it on standard baitcasting or spinning gear without excessive fatigue, and it reaches productive depths without requiring heavy line or specialized equipment. The lure's design produces a searching swimming action—a natural wobble and roll that triggers reaction strikes from fish that might ignore static presentations. That action works equally well on the cast or during a troll, giving you flexibility in how you fish structure, weed lines, points, and drop-offs.

Bandit Baits constructed this crankbait from quality materials built to withstand repeated casting and strikes. The Blue Splatter Back paint scheme combines a blue base with contrasting splatter detail, a pattern proven to attract fish in clear to moderately stained water. Stock a few in your tackle box—the Bandit 300 Series (of which this lure is part) has earned respect from tournament anglers and weekend warriors alike for consistency and fish-catching performance.
