Bandit Crankbait ID

Featured Replies

I have these Bandit Crankbaits, would have sworn they were 300's. Went to Bandits site and they're not listed. They are a shallow runner at 2.5" in length, Bandit site lists all cranks at 2". Anyone know what model these are. Thanks all, Brian.

I believe Bandit use to sell a square bill and discontinued it. I do know that I Cast this year, they came out with another square bill. Probably the same one they had before and just re-introduced it.

They're their squarebill, dont think they had a number. The 300 is still in production, a smaller bodied deeper running bait.

Tennessee shad is a great color and pretty natural looking, I've caught a ton of fish on a 100 series in that color. It's a pretty good sized bait, kind of in between a 1.5 and 2.5 sized squarebill. I've got it in Viral Perch, chart/black back, pearl black back, and Mistake, they all look good. I've caught more big fish on their Mistake color than any other, so I'm excited to put that one to use. I imagine they'll come out with more colors if the bait takes off, just released the more popular colors to start with.

I agree with you 100%. I'm a Bandit fan since they came on the market. I've had some nice catches over the years on them. Bandit took a bad turn when they did away from the triple grip hooks, when they dropped some decent very productive color patterns. Very basic patterns. Also when you sold out. I continue to use them. Lucky to have original patterns. I have not bought the new version due to color. SK is doing the same thing with a wider color options. Color is not everything but it means something.

As others have said, this is a Bandit Square I'll ( that's the full name).

 

Pretty good crankbait. It runs pretty shallow, and has a LOT of wobble and roll. Real aggressive action.

Used to be the Bandit Footloose. Ran shallower than the 100's. Almost a wakebait.
