The Bandit is a crankbait that could be called a finesse crank bait but can also be cranked along at any time a crank bait is chosen. It has a medium wobble and rounded sides. It should be fished on a 7’ medium action cranking stick with 10 to 14 lb line. Be sure to vary the retrieve, as you would with any crankbait.
