Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Chartreuse Black Back
The Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Chartreuse Black Back is a hard-bodied crankbait engineered to hunt fish in the mid-water column and deeper structure where bass, walleye, pike, and other gamefish feed. This is a workhorse lure for anglers who want reliable, proven action on cast or trolled presentations—the kind of bait that earns its place in your tackle box through repeated success.
Built from quality materials to withstand repeated casting and strikes, this diving crankbait features the classic chartreuse-with-black-back color pattern—a high-visibility combo that cuts through stained water and gets aggressive fish to commit. At 3/8 ounces and 2 inches long, it's a compact profile that matches natural forage and casts easily without tiring your arm on a long day on the water.
The 8-12 foot depth range means this lure will work shallow flats and gradually dive deeper as you retrieve, making it adaptable to changing conditions and fish location throughout the day. Whether you're working a clear lake, a murky river, or anywhere in between, the searching swimming action of a quality crankbait triggers reaction strikes from fish in a feeding mood.
