Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #16309

Green-scaled patterning across the back transitions into pale yellowish sides on this reliable Bandit 200 series specimen. Large yellow eyes with bold black pupils sit above a distinct red gill slash, providing a high-contrast focal point for predators. The body length measures 2" (5 cm), making it a compact choice for targeting zander or pike. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), the lure is engineered for reaching depths of up to 10 ft (3 m) via the clear, elongated diving lip. A prominent black spot is positioned on the side, contrasting against the cream-colored belly. Under product code 16309, this floating model is equipped with an internal rattle for a noise-heavy presence during casting or trolling. The condition of this specific item is 5/5, with the finish and hardware showing no signs of wear. Sharp treble hooks are secured by robust split rings to handle heavy strikes.
