Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit Flat Maxx Deep 276, 1/2oz fishing lure #19298

A silver-scaled finish defines the upper body of this Bandit Flat Maxx Deep 276, giving way to smooth metallic flanks and a soft pink accent under the throat. At a length of 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this American-engineered lure is built to reach depths between 8-12 ft (2.4-3.6 m). It carries product code 19298 and features a high-contrast yellow eye with a black pupil that stands out against the silver paint. This specific specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved with a clean, clear diving lip and original hardware. The flat-sided body construction is paired with an internal rattle, while the floating buoyancy allows for specialized deep-water presentations. Sturdy treble hooks remain sharp and are mounted securely to the belly and tail via bright split rings.
