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

The Bandit Lure 8-12' 2" 3/8oz Spring Crawfish Yellow is a hard diving crankbait built to hunt fish in the mid-to-deep zone where bass, walleye, and pike hold in lakes and reservoirs. This 300 Series crankbait reaches depths of 8 to 12 feet depending on line weight and casting distance, making it a go-to choice for anglers working structure, drop-offs, and deeper flats. The Spring Crawfish Yellow color pattern imitates natural forage, triggering reaction strikes from aggressive gamefish when you need them most.

Cast or troll this compact 2-inch crankbait with confidence—the searching swimming action works cover actively, digging and darting through vegetation, rocks, and timber. The 3/8-ounce weight delivers the distance you need for both precise casts and efficient trolling presentations. Bandit Baits engineered the 300 Series from durable, top-quality materials designed to handle repeated strikes and resist damage from teeth and rocks.

Whether you're working a clear-water reservoir, a natural lake, or a river system, this depth-diving profile fills the gap between shallow cranks and deep-water specialists. The proven crawfish-pattern finish works year-round, especially in spring and fall when predators hunt the mid-zone aggressively. Keep a few in your tackle box for situations where you need to cover water quickly and trigger bites from fish holding 8 to 12 feet down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What depth does the Bandit 300 Series crankbait dive to?

This lure is designed to dive 8 to 12 feet, depending on your line weight, casting distance, and how long you let it work. On lighter line (like 8–10 lb test), it will reach the deeper end of the range; heavier line will restrict depth slightly.

Is this crankbait good for trolling, or is it cast-only?

The Bandit 300 Series is effective both cast and trolled. The 3/8-ounce weight and diving profile work equally well in either application, making it versatile for lake and reservoir fishing.

What fish species will take this lure?

This crankbait is proven for bass, walleye, pike, and other gamefish. The crawfish pattern and searching action appeal to a wide range of predators, especially in spring and fall when fish feed aggressively in the mid-zone.

Why choose a Spring Crawfish color pattern?

Crawfish are a natural forage item in most freshwater systems. The Spring Crawfish Yellow imitates these crustaceans and triggers instinctive strikes from fish that hunt them regularly, making it an effective year-round choice.
