Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit Foot Loose Series , 1/3oz Pearl Black Back fishing lure #18293

Pearl sides and a distinct black back define the visual profile of this 2" (5 cm) shallow-running crankbait from the Bandit Foot Loose Series. Carrying the product code 18293, this specimen features a clear, near-vertical lip designed for waking the surface or staying within a depth range of 0-1 ft (0-0.3 m). Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the body includes a subtle red accent under the throat and classic yellow-and-black eyes that stand out against the metallic sheen. This specific model is a discontinued piece from Bandit's USA-made era, prized by those targeting pike or zander in heavy cover where a floating lure is essential. The hardware consists of two dark-finished treble hooks, while the body itself remains in a well-preserved 4.5/5 condition with minimal surface marks. Inside, an internal rattle provides acoustic presence, a hallmark of these noise-making shallow divers.
