Museum Archive: Vintage Bandit Rackit Squarebill, 1/4oz fishing lure #14526

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact squarebill is engineered for precision casting in the 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) depth range. The 2" (5 cm) body showcases a striking color scheme, featuring a bone-white base with prominent black spots, a yellow-tinged back, and a bold red head. Its square-shaped clear bill is designed to deflect off submerged obstacles, making it a reliable choice when searching for pike or zander near heavy cover. Identified by product code 14526, the Rackit series is characterized by an internal rattle chamber that produces a distinct acoustic presence while moving through the water. The hardware includes two sharp, black-finish treble hooks attached via sturdy split rings. This specimen is in excellent condition, appearing unused and maintaining a factory-fresh finish, earning a rating of 5/5.
