I really like the Bandit Cranks, and I'm sure others do so I thought I'd share some info I got earlier today...Might be old news to some.

They are releasing NON RATTLING cranks in the 200 series, and square bills. Should be hitting shelves in select colors in the next week or two.

Yeah,i just saw that in the 2012 BPS catalog the other day..wish i noticed it sooner though,just bought a bunch of rattlers on ebay.

I like the flat maxx series a lot too.

Awesome!! Bandit 200 is my #1 crank!!

Havent tried these yet but I plan to pick up a couple of the square bills.

I've heard good things about them.

Should be good little finesse cranks or clear water baits it sounds like. Bandits are tough to beat for the price.

They've all been out and available for a while, somewhere in the neighborhood of a month or more. I don't know who told you that it would be in the next week or two. Pretty sure that all of the major retailers, BPS, TW, and the like, have had them for going on three months.

I've fished the silent square bill pretty extensively and it's a decent bait. It's got a much wider wobble and roll than I really like, but it'll be an ok bait for over rock or in grass.
