Description

Scattered walleye and zander anglers in North America and Europe have learned that by weighting trolling lures for neutral buoyancy they can slow trolling speeds but maintain desired running depths and can keep inside-line baits running in the prime zone through turns. Custom weighting lures is challenging, though, so Bandit anglers have been requesting a suspending trolling minnow. The new Bandit Suspending Minnow, which uses the same body shape as the immensely popular Bandit Walleye Deep and Walleye Shallow and runs 18 to 20 feet with a tight, aggressive action, is the perfect answer to those requests.

Field Notes

Best for trolling when you want a bait to hold depth and stay in the strike zone through turns. The suspending buoyancy lets you slow down without the lure rising too much, which is useful for scattered fish and precise depth control.

Pros

  • Suspending design helps maintain running depth at slower trolling speeds
  • Tight, aggressive action suits walleye and zander
  • Runs deep in the prime zone for trolling

Cons

  • Primarily a trolling bait, so it is less versatile for shallow casting
  • Deep-running profile may be less useful in very shallow water
