Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Bandit 300, 3/8oz fishing lure #14525

A 3/8oz (10.5g) weight provides the necessary mass for this Bandit 300 to reach its designated depth of 8-12ft (2.4-3.6m) with ease. The Spring Craw Yellow finish is characterized by a dark brown back with a fine scale pattern that fades into vibrant orange and yellow flanks, accented by bold, dark tiger stripes. This American-made specimen, cataloged under product code 14525, features a distinct red throat section and red eyes that provide a high-contrast strike target for pike and zander. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the lure is built with a large, rounded clear diving bill designed for both casting and trolling applications. Inside the plastic body, a noisy rattle chamber is integrated to provide auditory presence in deeper water. The hardware remains in excellent shape, and the overall condition is rated 5/5, showing a clean surface and vibrant colors.
