Super User aavery2 Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 I purchased several of these crankbaits several years ago after I found the first to be very productive during the bluegill spawn. I am now down to just two and I can't remember for sure what they are. It seems to me that they were Bandit series 200 and the color was Bull Bream, but I can't find anything online or elsewhere to help ID them for sure. Please help me get a good ID and locate a few more for purchase Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 They look like bagley crankbaits but I may be wrong Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 29, 2014 They look like bagley crankbaits but I may be wrong Thanks, the Bagley tail end is straighter and the eyes are further forward on the head. I am almost certain they are Bandit 200 series, just cant remember the name of the color of locate a picture of them. 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 Those are not Bagley´s, those are Bandits, specifically 200 series. 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Super User Posted May 29, 2014 Those are not Bagley´s, those are Bandits, specifically 200 series. Thanks for confirming that Raul, I also believe that these are not that old. If my research is correct the older American made Bandits had a smaller pupil than that of the Chinese variety. Seems like I purchased these about 5-6 years ago. Quote
NathanW Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Both Bomber and Norman use that honeycomb paint pattern. I am sure others do too but may be a good place to look. Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 I don´t find that particular color pattern but that´s how it is with many brands, some color patterns last for many years and others don´t, some are exclusives for BPS or Cabela´s or so. Quote

Avalonjohn44 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 100% Bandit 200 Series. Awesome little bait. Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 Those are not Bagley´s, those are Bandits, specifically 200 series. Yup, those are the old USA made ones, hold on to those, they are a tad heavier and dive a little shallower than the new 200s (which aren't bad). My old 100s are some of my favorite shallow cranks.

Super User Jrob78 Posted May 29, 2014 Super User Posted May 29, 2014 I think it might be "chartreuse pearl scale". Kind of hard to tell though. Edit....it's kind of close but not the same. Quote
