Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #16310

Vibrant chartreuse paint with distinct green markings covers the 2" (5cm) frame of this Bandit 200, a lure specifically engineered for deeper presentation. Tipping the scales at 1/3oz (8.5g), the 16310 model is designed to reach depths of 10ft (3.0 m) whether you are casting or trolling. This USA-manufactured specimen features an internal noise-making rattle, a technical detail favored when targeting pike or walleye in varying water clarity. The clear diving lip is paired with a floating body, all preserved in 5/5 condition with a high-gloss finish and clean treble hooks. A bold red eye is positioned near the front, providing a high-visibility strike point against the bright yellow flanks. The hardware remains bright, and the overall construction reflects the reliable craftsmanship associated with the Bandit brand.
