Overview
Built for anglers who want to keep a bait working in the strike zone without constant speed changes, this suspending trolling minnow is aimed at walleye and zander fishing where controlled depth matters. It is designed to help maintain running depth through turns and at slower trolling speeds, making it a practical choice for covering water with a more deliberate presentation. The lure uses the same body shape as the Bandit Walleye Deep and Walleye Shallow and is described with a tight, aggressive action at 18 to 20 feet. At 3/4 ounce, it fits a depth-focused trolling setup where neutral buoyancy is the priority.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for trolling applications, so it’s less relevant if you’re looking for a lure focused on casting or other presentations.
- Its 18–20 ft running depth means it’s best suited to deeper water rather than shallow structure or near-surface work.
- The suspending design is intended to help maintain depth and position, but it may require more dialed-in trolling speed and setup than a standard crankbait.
- At 3/4 oz, it has enough weight for trolling use, but that also makes it a more specialized option than lighter all-purpose minnows.
