SKU: BDTB-SHAD-BANDIT LURES
Overview
Built for anglers who want a compact crankbait option, this lure is suited to both casting and trolling for walleye and other game fish. It reaches about 10 feet on a long cast and can troll down to 20 feet, giving it a useful range for working different water depths. The small profile and rounded lip are designed to produce a quick dive and a wiggling action, while the lure tracks true right out of the package. A wide selection of color patterns makes it easier to match local conditions and presentation preferences.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The lure’s depth range is presentation-dependent: it reaches about 10 feet on a long cast, but trolling is needed to get it down to about 20 feet.
- Its small-profile design may be a better fit when matching smaller forage, rather than situations that call for a larger bait profile.
- The action is described as a wiggling motion from the rounded lip, which may not suit anglers looking for a more subtle or different style of retrieve.
- Color pattern selection is broad, so choosing the right option may take some trial and error based on water conditions and target fish.
