Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #16504

A striking cow-pattern finish with black spots over a white body defines this vintage specimen, immediately catching the eye of any collector. Weighing in at 1/3oz (8.5g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this Bandit 200 is a classic USA-made crankbait optimized for targeting walleye and pike. The clear diving lip is engineered to reach depths of up to 10ft (3 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling techniques. This specific unit, identified by product code 16504, features a distinct reddish-pink and yellow gradient across the head and crown, which transitions into a subtle orange belly. As a noise-producing model, it relies on internal rattling to provide a distinct acoustic profile. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks in excellent condition. This specimen is in top-tier 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably clean and well-maintained.
