Bandit Lures Series 300 Crankbait – Dives to 12 ft, Natural Shad (BDT3D62)

Deep-Water Attraction with the Series 300

Meet the BANDIT LURES Series 300 crankbait, a deep diving option designed to tempt aggressive bass in structure heavy water. The lure features a weighted body that powers a steady, searching swim capable of reaching around 12 feet when paired with a typical 10 pound line. As it traces along the bottom, it presses into cover, bounces off rocky edges, and then ricochets away, often prompting decisive follows and violent strikes from larger fish. The combination of depth capability and a balanced, weed friendly design makes it a reliable choice for anglers who fish along deep banks or weedlines.

From a practical standpoint, the Series 300 benefits from a few thoughtful design choices. The butyrate body with lead weights yields a dull, fish-attracting thud that can cut through murk and low light. The molded-in lip tracks true right out of the package, reducing guesswork during cast and retrieve routines. A broad color lineup gives you options to match water color and forage mood, whether you fish clear, stained, or dirty water. These elements come together to offer a versatile option for deep-water structure and edge fishing.
