Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Red Crawfish

The Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Red Crawfish is a hard-bodied crankbait designed to hunt down bass, walleye, pike, and other gamefish in freshwater. This diving crankbait reaches depths between 8 and 12 feet depending on line weight and casting distance, making it effective for probing drop-offs, channel breaks, and structure where predators lurk. Cast or troll it to cover water quickly and trigger reaction strikes from fish in a searching mood.

The Red Crawfish pattern mimics a natural forage that gamefish actively hunt, especially in clear to stained water where crayfish are part of the local diet. The 3/8-ounce weight and compact 2-inch body profile give you the casting distance you need to reach distant structure without sacrificing the realistic action that makes crankbaits so effective. Built from quality materials designed to handle repeated strikes and hard use, this lure is engineered to perform across seasons and conditions.

Whether you're working a rocky bottom, navigating submerged timber, or trolling along weed lines, the Bandit 300 Series crankbait delivers the kind of reliable, triggering action that has made these baits a staple in the tackle boxes of serious anglers. Pair it with appropriate line weight to dial in your exact depth and maximize its diving potential.
