Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz Sun Pearch fishing lure #5441

Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), the Bandit 200 is a specialized tool for reaching depths up to 9.8 ft (3 m) when casting or trolling. The 2" (5 cm) body is finished in the Sun Pearch pattern, a sophisticated mix of a dark, speckled spine, vibrant pink-red mid-sections, and a pale underbelly. Carrying product code 5441, this deep-diving lure is equipped with a noise-producing chamber that adds an auditory dimension to its presence in the water. The clear plastic lip is well-preserved, and the overall specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing only light signs of previous use. Two belly-mounted treble hooks are attached with stainless split rings, maintaining the original setup of this USA-made crankbait.
