Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 300, 1/3oz Crappie fishing lure #17429

A metallic silver base provides the canvas for the detailed Crappie pattern on this 2" (5 cm) crankbait, featuring realistic dark mottling across the flanks. Bandit designed this 1/3 oz (8.5 g) deep diver, identified by product code 17429, with a high-contrast red accent line near the jaw and subtle yellow gill highlights. Its oversized clear plastic lip is engineered to take the lure down into the 8-12 ft (2.4-3.6 m) range, making it a useful tool for targeting walleye or pike. The internal rattle adds an auditory element to the presentation when casting or trolling. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a clean finish. The dark eyes and two black treble hooks are mounted securely on the floating body of this American-made specimen.
