Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 300, 1/3oz Brown Craw Org Belly fishing lure #16259

Brown honeycomb patterns stretch across the back of this deep-diving crankbait, providing a classic aesthetic for the Brown Craw Org Belly color scheme. Identified by product code 16259, this Bandit 300 model features a vibrant orange underside that remains bright and clean, earning a 5/5 condition rating. The 2" (5 cm) body is paired with a substantial clear diving lip, allowing it to reach depths between 8 and 12 ft (2.4 - 3.6 m) when trolling or casting. Weighing 1/3 oz (8.5 g), its noise-making internal chambers add a functional element to its presence in the water. This USA-manufactured specimen is equipped with two sharp treble hooks and displays the precise craftsmanship typical of the Bandit line, particularly for targeting pike and walleye. Dark, curved lines along the flanks complement the textured scale pattern found on the upper section of the lure.
