Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200, 1/3oz fishing lure #7077

Reaching depths up to 9.8 ft (3 m), this 1/3 oz (8.5 g) crankbait is engineered for bottom-bumping through structure while casting or trolling. The Bandit 200, identified by product code 7077, features a classic olive and gold back that transitions into pale, iridescent sides. A distinct orange-red blush is visible on the belly near the throat, providing a subtle visual trigger for walleye and pike. The clear plastic diving lip is integrated into a 2" (5 cm) body that houses an internal rattle system for acoustic presence. Sharp black nickel treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail hangers. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original luster and hardware integrity from its American manufacturing origins. Vivid red eyes are set deep into the head, contrasting sharply against the earthy tones of the paint. The lure's floating buoyancy allows it to back away from snags when the retrieve is paused during a run.
