Rated 5 out of 5 by Redskins1 Outstanding Bait
I have been catching outstanding Largemouth bass on this crank for years now! I caught and released the biggest bass of my life in April. 9 lbs! The color and the action of the Bandit in the Bass color has made for a consistent bite just about every trip out on the lake!

I have a pond in my neighborhood that i love to fish. In the summer i don't think i ever changed lures. Make sure you use a slowish retrieve reel, or just control your hand speed, the speed makes a big difference. I have probably caught 100 bass on one lure. One that peaked 8 lbs.

1/4 oz is kind of light. Maybe if you went down to 8lb test, but I wonder how far you could cast.

I fish mine on 12lb test. I fish a lot of tournaments and fish a lot of rock thats hard on line. Yes it hurts the depth a little but I dont lose fish. I always use a bait caster the model I use is the KVD black reel.A:
I do it with a medium light crankin stick that is 7 feet 10 inches long, light line ( 8 pound flourocarbon ), and a good reel with a lot of experimentation with the spool cast settings and magnetic/centrifugal weight backlash controls. Works best with fresh Hot Sauce on the spool bearings. That will do it equipment-wise, but your biggest enemy and variable out of your control will be the wind !Details:
Why are bass going after a bass colored lure? Do bigger bass eat smaller bass?Answers
A:
Not sure why they go after this color. I know it works! Caught several big fish with this color where other colors were not working. Large bass are not too picky when it comes to food. They will eat just about anything that swims in front of them when they are hungry!A:
yes, they eat any small fish..

A:
If it swims they eat it in most cases.A:
Bass will eat anything they can catch and fit in their mouths. Including other bass.A:
yesA:
When fishing that lure i found that if it looks like an easy meal the bass will take it. It doesn't matter what kind of fish it is they take every oppertunity at every fish that they think will be an easy meal!Details:
I need to know this because i'm a huge crappie fisherman. HELP!Answers
A:
i have caught crappie on these and on the footloose seriesA:
I have caught some crappie on the Bandit crankbait while bass fishing but personally, I prefer using jigs or beetle spins for crappie fishing.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Its a great bait. One of my favorites for Bass but might be a little big for Crappie.

A:
Okay, I will say that in the right colors this will work super when the crappie are in tight or up in spawning areas . But when they are in these areas they will hit almost anything that gets close to them . Invest in 200's for the times when they are deeper in crappie colors . In shallow go smaller cranks or small spinners or jigs . cheaper and more colors to experiment with for less money . I usually use tubes in shallow with spinner ( roadrunner head or beetle spin spinner ) or no spinner . When they are fired up the 3/8 oz. single spinner H&H spinners are super . I do love to use these 100's for bassin and they are great producers for me . Good 200 series colors are pink,white with splatterback , silver with black back , silver with blue back , white . Good luck and tight lines .Answers
