Description

Unlock the full potential of your crappie fishing with the Bandit 300 Series crankbait, now available in a stunning array of custom-painted colors inspired by the legendary Bobby Garland palette. While the Bandit 300 is already a crappie-catching machine with its 8 to 12-foot diving depth and enticing searching action, this new series elevates its effectiveness by combining that proven performance with colors meticulously chosen for their crappie-specific appeal. Each 2-inch, 3/8-ounce crankbait is not just a lure, but a crappie-triggering system, designed to match the hatch, mimic natural forage, or provide maximum visibility when crappie need it most. Get ready to experience the Bandit 300 like never before, with custom colors that speak directly to a crappie's instincts. Bleeding Shad: This color mimics an injured minnow with its natural shad base and red accents, triggering a predatory response in crappie, especially in clear water. Monkey Milk Glo: The legendary Monkey Milk, with its pearlescent body and subtle highlights, now features a "Mo' Glo" formulation for enhanced visibility, making it a versatile crappie magnet in low-light or stained water conditions. Spring Fling: Designed to "match the hatch," Spring Fling incorporates insect-like hues, making it irresistible to crappie feeding on emerging aquatic insects during spring and early summer in clearer water. Chartreuse Red Glitter: Combining a highly visible chartreuse body with the flash and trigger of red glitter, this color excels at attracting crappie in stained to murky water conditions. Threadfin: A hyper-realistic imitation of the crucial Threadfin Shad, this color, often with holographic flakes, is a top choice for fooling clear-water crappie that rely on sight to identify their prey. Bluegrass: Featuring an opaque light blue back with blue flake over a chartreuse belly with silver flake, Bluegrass offers a proven crappie-catching combination that excels in stained water by providing both visibility and a natural appeal.
