Bandit Lures Series 200 Crankbait — 2in, 1/4oz, Brown Craw Orange Belly (BDT204)

Overview

The 200 Series Bandit crankbait is a trusted staple for bass anglers who value consistency and versatility. Its compact 2-inch, 1/4-ounce profile sits in the mid-weight class, delivering a balanced feel on the retrieve and a reliable strike trigger when bass are near structure.

With a butyrate body and lead weights, this lure produces a distinct dull thud on contact, signaling a hardy bait that can attract curious bites. A molded-in square lip keeps the lure running true straight out of the package, reducing setup time and letting you focus on your retrieve rhythm.

• Square lip resists snags and encourages a panicky, lifelike swim on the retrieve.
• Skinny water capability makes it effective near weedlines and tight cover.
• Classic profile with dependable action that many pro anglers trust.

In the water: feel and use
