Bandit Lures Crankbait Series 100 Fire Tiger – 2in, 1/4oz Bass Lure Dives to 5ft (BDT120)

Overview

The BANDIT LURES Crankbait Series 100 is a versatile shallow-water option designed for bass fishing in skinny water, near cover, or along weed edges. In the Fire Tiger finish, this lure combines high-visibility color with a compact profile to help you cover water efficiently.

Key design details that matter on the water

• Butyrate body with lead weights creates a dull, attention-grabbing thud as the lure pulses past cover; this subtle resonance can help fish notice the bait.
• Square lip resists snags and delivers a panicky, lifelike swim on the retrieve, helping you trigger bites in tight spaces.
• Depth target reaches about 2–5 feet, making it a strong option for shallow flats and edges where bass often cruise.
• Medium-width wiggle and super snag-deflection characteristics give it a distinctive action while staying away from heavy cover.
• Molded-in lip is designed to run true right out of the package, reducing guesswork during setup.
• Specs at a glance — 2 inches in length and 1/4 ounce in weight, a compact package that casts well and responds to moderate retrieves.

Real-world use and scenarios

• Skinny water excursions along weed edges and inside smaller coves where fish hold near cover.
• Shallow-water ambush zones on sunny mornings or after a light rain when bass patrol the near-surface structure.
• Rods, reels, and line choices that balance a steady, skewed, or paused retrieve to spark hesitation strikes.

Color, visibility, and versatility

The Fire Tiger pattern offers high contrast and a lifelike signal in a variety of water conditions, from clear to moderately stained. While color alone doesn’t guarantee bites, the combination of visibility and action can help you locate active fish more efficiently.

How to fish it

Begin with a steady, medium-speed retrieve, allowing the square lip to pull the lure toward shallow targets. Try a short pause near structure to invite a follow-up bite, then resume the retrieve. Vary speed and pausing to dial in what the fish prefer on a given day.

Bottom line

The 100 Series Fire Tiger delivers a compact, snag-conscious option for shallow-water bass anglers. It emphasizes controlled depth, distinctive swimming action, and a color pattern designed for visibility—offering a sensible choice for those fishing skinny water or tight covers without overpromising results.
