Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Jackolantern
The Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Jackolantern is a diving crankbait built to hunt in the strike zone where bass and walleye actually live. When you cast this lure on 10-lb test, it dives down to 12 feet with a searching swimming action designed to trigger reaction strikes from aggressive gamefish. The compact 2-inch profile and 3/8-ounce weight make it easy to cast and control, whether you're working structure on a pond or trolling deeper flats in a lake.
This isn't a lure that sits in your box looking pretty—it's engineered to work. The Jackolantern color pattern is a proven choice for visibility in various water conditions, and the crankbait's built-in action does the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Whether you're a bass tournament angler, a walleye hunter, or just someone who wants to cover water and catch fish, this lure produces.
Bandit's reputation rests on quality materials and realistic, fish-triggering designs. The 300 Series crankbait line has earned trust among serious anglers because the lures do what they promise: they get down, they swim, and they catch fish. Cast or troll it—this lure works either way.
