Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the silver-scaled body of this Bandit 200 shows off a high-contrast red gill crescent and matching red eyes. This 1/3 oz (8.5 g) floating crankbait, identified by product code 8162, is designed for reaching depths up to 9.8 ft (3 m) when casting or trolling for zander and pike. Its pearlescent white belly transitions into a grey-scaled back, marked mid-way by a single black spot to mimic common baitfish patterns. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining clean hardware and its original clear diving lip. Inside the body, a rattling mechanism provides an auditory element during the retrieve. The hooks are sharp and original, reflecting the craftsmanship of these USA-manufactured lures.
