Crankbait Identification Help

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I purchased several of these crankbaits several years ago after I found the first to be very productive during the bluegill spawn.   I am now down to just two and I can't remember for sure what they are.  It seems to me that they were Bandit series 200 and the color was Bull Bream, but I can't find anything online or elsewhere to help ID them for sure. 

 

Please help me get a good ID and locate a few more for purchase

They look like bagley crankbaits but I may be wrong

Thanks, the Bagley tail end is straighter and the eyes are further forward on the head.   I am almost certain they are Bandit 200 series, just cant remember the name of the color of locate a picture of them.

Those are not Bagley´s, those are Bandits, specifically 200 series.

Thanks for confirming that Raul, I also believe that these are not that old.  If my research is correct the older American made Bandits had a smaller pupil than that of the Chinese variety.  Seems like I purchased these about 5-6 years ago.

Both Bomber and Norman use that honeycomb paint pattern. I am sure others do too but may be a good place to look.

I don´t find that particular color pattern but that´s how it is with many brands, some color patterns last for many years and others don´t, some are exclusives for BPS or Cabela´s or so.

100% Bandit 200 Series. Awesome little bait.

Yup, those are the old USA made ones, hold on to those, they are a tad heavier and dive a little shallower than the new 200s (which aren't bad). My old 100s are some of my favorite shallow cranks.

I think it might be "chartreuse pearl scale".  Kind of hard to tell though.

 

Edit....it's kind of close but not the same.
