Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #16505

Weighing exactly 1/3oz (8.5g), this Bandit 200 showcases a vibrant green scale-patterned back that flows into a metallic gold side featuring a distinct black spot and a sharp red gill slash. This 2" (5cm) American-made crankbait is engineered as a deep-diver, capable of reaching depths down to 10ft (3 m) when used for casting or trolling. Identified by product code 16505, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, featuring a pristine clear diving lip and untouched paintwork. Its internal rattle chamber is designed for sound, specifically aimed at triggering strikes from pike and walleye in deeper water columns. The lure is equipped with its original black nickel treble hooks and retains the classic Bandit profile with prominent yellow-and-black eyes. The belly is a solid, clean white, providing a high-contrast target from below.
