Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 200 UV, 1/3oz Red Tiger fishing lure #7950

Clad in a high-contrast Red Tiger pattern, the finish on this deep-diving crankbait features a UV-reactive property that ensures visibility in murky water or low-light situations. This Bandit 200 UV (Product Code 7950) is engineered to reach depths of 10 ft (3.0 m), making it a reliable choice for targeting pike or zander through casting or trolling techniques. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), the 2" (5 cm) body houses a noise-generating internal rattle system. The hardware remains in good order, featuring two sharp treble hooks and a clear, sturdy diving lip. Rated at 4/5, the lure displays a clean surface with only light evidence of its history. This American-designed specimen represents the evolution of the classic Bandit profile, updated with modern light-reflecting technology to help anglers find fish in deeper columns. The paint scheme transitions from a dark back to vibrant orange sides, marked with distinct black vertical striping.
