Bandit Lures Series 100 Crankbait – Red Crawdad (2-5 ft) BDT1B37

Overview

The Bandit Lures Series 100 crankbait is built for shallow-water bass territory, offering a reliable blend of size, action, and depth. With a dive range of roughly 2 to 5 feet, this lure stays in the strike zone where bass often feed around weed edges and soft flats.

On the retrieve, the square lip keeps the bait tight and deflects snaggy cover while delivering a distinct panicky swimming action that many anglers recognize as a trigger for bites. At 2 inches long, the bait strikes a versatile balance between smaller forage patterns and the need for a noticeable presence in murkier water or high-pressured conditions.

Key design notes that matter on the water

The crankbait features a butyrate body with integrated lead weights, creating a subtle, underwater thud that helps the lure register in a variety of water colors and light levels. The combination of color, action, and depth gives you a versatile tool for many skinny-water scenarios.

• Butyrate body with lead weights produces a dull thud that can draw attention in pressured or stained water.
• Square lip resists snags and yields an enticing, panicky swimming action on the retrieve.
• Runs 2–5 feet deep, ideal for shallow cover, feeding flats, and transitional edges.
• Medium-width wiggle with strong snag-deflection helps keep the lure in the strike zone.
• Molded-in lip ensures consistent, true-tracking performance right out of the package.
• Well-suited for hydrilla or lily pad edges, rock edges, and drop-offs in various depths.
• 2-inch length offers a compact profile that pairs well with a broad range of bass forage patterns.

When and where to use

Cast toward weedlines, reed lines, or rocky edges where schools of bass often hold. Use a steady or slightly varied retrieve to maintain depth and provoke reaction bites during daylight or low-light periods. This lure is designed to be easy to pair with other gear in your tackle box, making it a dependable option for many anglers.

Whether you are fishing hydrilla beds, shallow lily pads, or near the edge of a rocky drop-off, the Series 100 can help you cover water efficiently while staying in the active zone. While results depend on conditions and technique, many anglers report productive days with this pattern in a variety of freshwater settings.
