Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit Rackit Squarebill, 1/4oz fishing lure #15686

Patterned with intricate blue and orange scaling that mimics a panfish, this squarebill features a distinctive dark "ear" spot and vertical bars along its 2" (5 cm) body. Labeled under product code 15686, the Bandit Rackit is weighted at 1/4 oz (7 g) and is engineered to reach depths of 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m). The clear square lip is firmly integrated into the nose, positioned just ahead of the front treble hook. This specific specimen maintains a crisp 5/5 condition, showing a bright finish and sharp black nickel hooks. Designed for both casting and trolling, it serves as a floating, rattling option for pike and walleye anglers who value USA-made construction. The top surface shows a deep purple hue that transitions into a dark saddle patch, while the belly presents a soft orange glow.
