Custom Bandits

[mikecat13]

As others said, hooks and split rings on bandits are weak. I use #4 VMC online trebles and #3 split rings. Some don't have problems with them but many people do. I didn't until I mentioned I didn't l then I had a bunch of hook bend and break and a couple split rings stretch. Now they get cut off and replaced before they go in the water doesn't matter stock or custom I do it to all, costs like $1 per bait or less using VMC

Are you guys using short shank trebles or regular treble hooks?

Hey guys haven't updated the site lately with new 2017 colors if your interested check them out on facebook, instagram, or I can shoot anyone interested a text of the cool stuff we are doing up for 2017. Ill be the first to say some stock colors work great nothing wrong with that... i know as a bait shop owner and painter im probably breaking some rule or something... but at the same time their are some days where custom colors kick butt, so with that said anyone want honest info on cranks or customs or stocks just ask take care fellas and ladies the water is still 33.5 degrees out there be safe.

Don't over look Dreamcatcher baits custom painted cranks. David paints them himself and does an excellent job. Here is a link to their website. There are some pictures of his custom painted lures on the site.

Last year they were $12.50/lure for the custom ones

Glad you chimed in because I could not remember what I had paid for the ones that I bought. I know this if there is a run on customs like last year you had better get yours early because they went fast. I have no idea about his current inventory and assume that he has painted cranks over the winter.

ON EDIT: You cannot ask for better people than David and Melanie they treat their customers right.

I gotta admit wakina that i was one of those guys buying them up left and right. Being it was my rookie season up there i had nothing that all you guys and gal were talking about. Everything people posted about , rr800's, ddhj12's and especially bandits,me and some buddies tried to buy at least one of and the ones that worked really well we went back and got a couple more of each. It got a little pricey but what the heck ,I've been eating walleye all year and all but 1 lure is ready to go this year. 1 bandit split at the tail and the hook came out. Some could use re-painted from those teeth marks but were good to go. Just need some weather cooperation. We wanted to head up this weekend but from what ive been reading it dont look too good
