Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200 UV, 1/3oz fishing lure #15086

Fluorescent hues of chartreuse and lime green define the visual profile of this specimen, specifically engineered with a UV-reactive finish to remain visible in deeper or stained water. Weighed at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), this compact crankbait measures 2" (5 cm) and features a distinct orange throat patch typical of classic American attractor patterns. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of approximately 8 feet (2.4 m), targeting mid-range structures. Bearing the product code 15086, the lure is in 5/5 condition, showing the pristine surfaces of a well-cared-for piece. Originally manufactured in the USA by Bandit, the construction includes two black nickel treble hooks and stainless steel split rings. Under UV light, the body transitions into a vibrant glow, a specific technical feature intended for low-visibility conditions.
