Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #16260

Fine glitter particles sparkle across the bright yellow body of this 1/3oz (8.5g) specimen, which carries the Product Code 16260. Originating from the USA, this Bandit 200 is built for reaching depths up to 10ft (3 m) whether you are casting near structure or trolling open water. The aesthetic features a high-contrast purple-to-magenta back that transitions into the yellow sides, accented by a distinct red gill crescent and a focused red eye. Its clear, elongated diving lip marks it as a deep-water specialist, often favored by those targeting pike or zander. Internally, the floating lure is designed with a rattling chamber to provide an acoustic presence beneath the surface. With a length of 2" (5cm), the body retains its high-visibility finish and is rated at 4/5 condition, showing only gentle signs of character. Dual treble hooks are secured by sturdy split rings, ready for service.
