Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit 300, 3/8oz Chartreuse Blue Back fishing lure #6813

Detailed scale mesh along the spine transitions into a vibrant neon yellow on this Chartreuse Blue Back pattern. Designed as a deep-diving tool, the Bandit 300 carries the product code 6813 and is engineered to reach depths of 8–12 ft (2.4–3.6 m). This floating crankbait weighs 3/8 oz (10.5 g) and measures a compact 2" (5 cm) in length, making it a reliable choice for both casting and trolling applications. The visual profile is accented by a bright orange belly and prominent red eyes, providing sharp contrast for predators like pike and walleye. A large, clear diving lip is securely anchored to the body to handle the resistance of deep-water retrieves. This specific specimen remains in 5/5 condition, retaining a clean finish and sharp, bronze-finished treble hooks. A noisy internal rattle chamber adds an acoustic element to its presentation, a signature feature for this classic American-made model.
