TrippyJai Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I went online today to buy some Bandit crankbaits because I heard so much about them and I was literally overwhelmed with all the colours. I usually know which colours work well, but I want some opinion of what colours you like best. I decided to buy a couple from the 100, 200 and 300 series. Here are my top 3 choices, if you can, please follow the same format and let me know your choices. 100 series: 1) Perfect Blue Gill 2) Baby Bream 3) Tenn. Shad 200 series: 1) Tenn. Shad 2) Baby Bass 3) Rootbeer 300 series: 1) Tenn. Shad 2) Chart. Blue Back 3) Citrus Shad Quote

-nick- Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 100 Series Mistake 200 Series Mistake 300 Series Mistake I love bandits and they often help me outfish my friend who is fishing with rapala DTs. But all the colors you mention are great the only color I have right now is bluegill in footloose, 100S, 200S, and 300S. Quote
Bass Dude Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I have caught so many fish on these cranks!!! If I want to see if they're on a crankbait bite, these are the first plugs I tie on. If I had to pick three colors to start with, mine would be (for all models): Craw W/Orange Belly Splatter Back Craw Chart. Brown Quote

Willzx225 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 100 Series Mistake 200 Series Mistake 300 Series Mistake disagree ;D I think he was refering to Bandits color called Mistake. The Chart/ Blue is my favorite color for all of those. Quote
mudkart Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 100 Series Mistake 200 Series Mistake 300 Series Mistake Bandit's "mistake" color is a perch/bluegill pattern Quote

TN basstracker Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hot Chocolate and khaki have been phenominal for me last year. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I love Taco Salad, Pearl/Chartreuse, and Bone. Quote
fathom Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 bass pearl/redeye rootbeer smallies hate rootbeer. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted February 19, 2009 Super User Posted February 19, 2009 For those that don't know, the Mistake color is red on one side and chartreuse on the other side. It got that name from a production error. Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Placed my order today based on colors I liked and a few recommendations. Looking forward to them arriving. Quote
SkilletSizeBass. Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I've got quite a few Bandits, but, 2 that I've done the best on are: Series 200 : Spring craw and Tenn. shad Quote
cdtac1 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Char. with blue back or char. with blue splatter back is one of my top colors. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 23, 2009 Super User Posted February 23, 2009 Add Chart/Blue Back in every size and you will be set. Quote
frogtog Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I've been buying Bandits since before time. Some of the colors they have came from me ( Hint Old Light ) that color in the 200 has really helped my bank account over the years. I can not remember ever buying a Bandit ( 100 - 200 - 300 ) that didn't catch fish. Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Add Chart/Blue Back in every size and you will be set. Yep, I bought Tenn. Shad and Chart./Blue Back for every size. Quote
BASSMAFIA Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 well lets begin on the colors that i have always caught fish on... baby bass, tennessee shad, crawfish orange belly, pearl redeye, spring craw, firetiger, baby bream, chart. blue back, wild thing, salad bar, MISTAKE, rootbeer, sparkle ghost. they all work. its the only cranks i buy I want to try the orange crush, Also i want to try the flat maxx cranks they have, anyone use those?? Quote
guitarkid Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 What about mad cow? I bought one just to be funny. -gk Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 My gf asked me why'd they have a cow color and I was like because if a cow were to swim like a injured bait fish, a bass will eat it. But in all seriousness, what is with some of the colors? I think mistake was cool color... Quote
