SKU: BDT-BANDIT LURES
Overview
Built for anglers who want a compact crankbait that can cover a range of presentations, this series is suited to situations where matching the local forage matters. The shad-style profile, internal rattles, and wide wobble are intended to create a noticeable baitfish imitation across different fishing conditions. With multiple color options and three depth ranges available, it gives you flexibility to fish shallower or deeper water without changing lure style. The floating design and true-running construction make it a practical choice for straightforward casting and retrieving on the water.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The Series 100, 200, and 300 share the same 2" profile, so depth range—not body size—is the main difference between models.
- These are floating crankbaits, which may not suit situations that call for a lure that stays deeper or suspends longer.
- The available color schemes help match local forage, but the right choice still depends on conditions and the species you’re targeting.
- The wide wobble and internal rattles are built for attraction, which can be a trade-off if you prefer a more subtle presentation.
