This bait rocks, doing real well on the Bluegill color. I've caught three 5lbers in the past week on this crank which are large bass in SW Michigan. It has a weight shift system like the more expensive plugs, cast like a rocket.

Three five pounders make a great week of fishing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like how bandit designed the bill and the slope of the lure's 'forehead' to interact getting the most out of the lure's depth capability.  

It does indeed cast like a rocket. It has an interesting action.....I'm not sure I like it as much as my other deep cranks, but I'll see what the fish think before I form an opinion.

The Bandit 600 had a snappier, livlier action (yes, before coming out with the 700, Bandit still had a deep crank.....for some reason, they just didn't really market it).

Here's a pic with the old 600 vs. the 700

I'm not baggin' on it though.....it's a different action and I've caught a few fish on it so far, so I'm going to keep it in the rotation and get to know it better.  

Hey Stringjam I always enjoy reading your thoughts on the different cranks that are out there, for some reason on this one lake they seem to respond to this particular crank and I've had very limited response from the other deep divers that I've tried. The one thing about this bait is that I think they exaggereate the depth capalities a little on this bait (they claim 14'-18'), I think it's more of a 12'-15' bait. The lip in not as long as a DD22 which is a bait that can definetly hit the 18' mark. That said it's a bait that's been putting a smile on my face this season and another good tool in the box to go along with my other cranks like the DD22'S, DT series & Jackall Muscle Deeps. I've never tried the 600 series, I'll have to hunt a few down.
