My experience with bandits is that they can catch fish but are made quite poorly. Day one we were netting the walleye as they were coming into the boat and had the larger fish breaking off hooks, split rings and even the eyes off the body of the bait. On day two we left the net in storage and pulled the fish out of the water by hand. We lost a few fish partway in on the retrieve and upon bringing in the bait found hooks broke off.

Bandit was bought by Pradco Outdoors about this time last year. I battled with them just to replace the few baits that were ruined after very little use. I had to mail them the broken baits at my expense and then they mailed me a couple of replacements. They did nothing for the 15 other baits I have with. Token hooks and split rings. I won't be buying many more bandits.
