Before this thread got off topic, it had some color suggestions (custom) that are available at some of the local shops, from what was said.

factory color black and gold works well
Black & Gold!! PITTSBURGH STEELER colors!!
I've been following the threads of a lot of fish caught so far this spring.Been trying to keep track of hot stock bandit colors.Juls fishing report has a lot of info in it.Unfortunately I brought my list home,but some favorites were firetiger,clown,popsicle,taco salad chartreuse black stripes.DJ's also paints custom colors that were hot early this season.
On several different trips this spring we have had very good luck with the firetiger and the purple shad(*I believe that is the correct name) Bandits. We also tried a glow in the dark Bandit and it caught several nice Walleye.
Capt. Jims "custom bandit" thread has good info, as cycleguy has posted the link and as mentioned, all of Capt. Juls threads have good info.
Do the colors that are hot usually vary with the different times of the year as different foods become available
LOL don't get cleveland browns colors they will just let you downQuote:

I do have really good luck with some of the customs that Jim has mentioned though and they take up a lot of the lines I put out.
I know that the bandits are the hot bait this year. My question is that because it's so early or do I need to buy them. I have a box or 2 full of runners and dhjs and some perfect 10s. I won't be up till sometime in May
In your shoes I probably would not go to crazy, May is typically the time of year the water starts warming up and we start that slide into spoons, harnesses. If you are only running a few rods per side it may not be a bad idea to buy a couple to try out on a side just to see if you like them.Quote:

We got tired of that one untuned reef runner taking out 5 rods on a side if we miss it going out, all though there are still days where the fish want reef runners more then Bandits as well, but not a lot of them.
Planning to get out next week. I only have 2 Bandits in my collection, parakeet and taco salad. Anyone have luck on those colors? I have more of the reef runners, Rapala dhj12s, and Perfect 10s than Bandits. I know from day to day things can change, but based on personal opinion/experience, how would you guys rank Bandits vs dhjs, rr800s, or P10s? Are rr800s the only one of those that needs to be tuned?
