I need to know this because i'm a huge crappie fisherman. HELP!
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
I have caught some crappie on the Bandit crankbait while bass fishing but personally, I prefer using jigs or beetle spins for crappie fishing.
A:
Its a great bait. One of my favorites for Bass but might be a little big for Crappie.
Top 10 Contributor
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

theres a few colors i use not just one because of water condtions clear muddy etc.A:
I use this crankbait, and the only color I have is Baby Bass, it is an excellent lureA:
crawfish, orange belly, gold glitter on back.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
match the hatch...meaning find a lure that does a good job appearing to be similar in appearance to what the fishing are feeding off. Frog color, shad pattern, bluegill color, crayfish pattern, goby colors, etc. Hopefully that helps but a natural color is best sometimes especially in clear water. If the water is muddy try fishing something in a white color with a glitter to it. Clear water alot of colors work except I dislike dark colors, maybe green, a lighter shade or a red orange flake type of pattern. Make the best choice on these specifics. Good luck.Q:

I want a square bill (or coffin lip) lure that has a very hard side-to-side vibrating action. Any suggestions?
Answers
A:
you can't beat the Bandit 100. You will need to trade out to a better quality hookA:
The Bandit 100 is a hard side to side. I have to step up to a 200 sometimes and heavier line to get the fish to bite.A:
I would go with bandit 100s or Xcalibur has good vibration and loud.A:
bandit 100 baits are great, also kvd 1.5 and2.5 by strike king

A:
Bombers have the widest wobble, but are less durable.
Answers
A:
Chartreuse/ Black back, Chartreuse back on white, Baby Bass, Gray Splatter back or my best in that order.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
Tennessee Shad - can't beat for all general conditions.A:
If the main forage is gizzard shad or thredfin shad, I recommend the chrome with black back. I wouldn't go fishing without it.A:
lavender and chartruse
Top 250 Contributor

I like baby bass, rootbeer, and black/pearl. Have caught very nice bass on each color.
Top 10 Contributor

A:
Chart blue backA:
My best success has been with Spring Craw/Yellow and Red Crawfish in murky water, visabiltiy about 15 inches
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Depending on water clarity...Pearl Redeye, Baby Bass Char.,Taco Salad are a few of my favs. in darker water. Silver Minnow Sparkle, Tennessee Shad, Louisiana Shad in clearer water. Trial and error is the best way to find your own good colors but those are a few good starting points.A:
Blue Back and chromeA:
Depends on water conditions. Usually you can bet on a shad colored crankbait, or anything else that will match the hatch, or best imitate the bait fish in the water you are fishing.Answers
A:
Bandit by far in my opinion.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
If I could only have 1 crankbait in my tackle box, it would be a Bandit.A:
I don't see any difference between the square bill of Bandits Series 100 or Mann's C-4.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Color selection and bouncing cover the Bandit wins hands down but sometimes fish like the wider wobble of the Mann's. Both are in my top three crank list.A:
I am partial to the Bandits in all sizes. I think that may be because I have had a lot of success on them over the years
Top 50 Contributor
A:
C4 is a much bigger profile, so if that is what you need, then yeah. But I would say no, smaller is usually gonna get you more bites.Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
They are just about 2 inches long, very nice size

A:
2 inchesA:
Without the back treble hook it is about 2 1/2 inches long.Answers
A:
yesA:
Rocks somewhat but is an great bait to throw into a big lay down.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes, when you hit cover, just give it a slight pause - this allows you to clear the cover and gives that bass a chance to eat your lure!A:
Rocks won't be a problem, but you will have to exercise some care around logs.A:
The Bandit 100 and 200 series deflect rocks as well as any other crankbait out there.A:
yes, when you hit a rock or wood give it a short pause, then continue your retrive with a stop and go
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes it does very well. I use this bait around most shallow water structure, for aggressive bass
Top 250 Contributor
A:
That last guy learned it from Bill Dance. I learned it for myself. This is my favorite bait, and it's caught some pretty good keeper sized bass for me. Deflects wonderfully off of rocks, as well as submerged stumps and wood.A:
rocks are considered structure not cover. cover is like plants or moss. but yes it does reflect off structure (rocks) good. great product. learned this from Bill Dance.Answers
A:
2' to 4'
Top 250 Contributor
A:
about 2 feet
Top 10 Contributor
A:
2-5 depending on variables such as retrieval and actionA:
Bandit Crankbaits Series 100 runs about 7 feet deep with 10 lb test line and 50 yds behind the boat @ 2 mph, Series 200 runs about 9 feet deep.A:
The 100 series will run 2-5 feet depending on line size and speed of retrieve.
Top 250 Contributor
A:

The Bandit 100 series dives about 2 to 5 feet deep.Answers
A:
Yes. Especially the Brown Craw in stained water
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes, the Bandit never fails to catch fish even on the slowest of days.A:
YES! this is exactly why I always have this bait on one of my rods. When the weather is hot and the bite is slow - the 100 series will illicit bites
Top 10 Contributor
A:
i like the one guys answer which is so truefinicky bass are finicky bass and not much can change that whether your crankbait is blue or yellow or its $3 or $300
A:
My experience says that inactive bass are just that, no lure seems to be able change that attitude.A:
I fish a lot on a small 400 acre lake and have luck burning this lure and getting bit
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes it can. Just fish around tree stumps and rocks, and any bass would get the urge to strike this bait
