Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #14734

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), this crankbait features a distinct green bluegill-inspired scale pattern over a pale belly. The Bandit 200 is a specialized tool for reaching depths up to 10 ft (3 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting zander or pike in mid-range structures. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 14734, showcases a high-quality finish with yellow-rimmed eyes and a prominent black gill spot characteristic of its namesake prey. Measuring 2" (5 cm), the lure is built for both casting and trolling applications where a floating, noise-emitting presentation is required to trigger strikes. The hardware remains in exceptional state, rated 5/5, with sharp black treble hooks and a pristine clear plastic diving lip. Originating from the USA, the construction highlights the brand's reputation for durable, deep-running bodies that maintain their integrity.
