bandit depth

[Pauken23]

Agreed, I only pull Stinger Spoons and Harnesses with Jets. Bandits I run as is without weights. If I ever were to run a crank behind a Jet (never have) I would use a shallow diving crank.

Saw this discussion on OGF and the conclusion of topic is you do not want to be running a crankbaits of another diving device, such as a Jet,Tru trip or dipsy.If want to get deeper with a crankbait, want to use a sinker.The exception is a shallow,small bill crackbait.Think reason for this is don't know where at in depth charts and a crank can trip a Tru trip or dipsy unless tighten to point it may not release when hit by fish.

In reference to the dive chart, what speed is that at?I'm assuming there will be a different depth say at 1.5 and 2.0mph.

Bandits don't have a speed adjuster in the Precision Trolling app which according to them means the speed doesn't have too much of an impact. Obviously extreme differences would.

According to the precision trolling app this is the Bandit Deep Walleye dive chart:
32ft line is 10 ft down
50ft line is 13ft down
60ft line is 15ft down
70ft line is 16ft down
80ft line is 17ft down
90ft line is 18ft down
100ft line is 19ft down
117ft line is 20ft down
145ft line is 21ft down
195ft line is 22ft down

That's where the chart stops. I know the lure says 27ft but this is for the width of 10lb mono so basically 30ish braid. You can obviously assist this with in line weights but to go deeper I'd just switch to jet divers with stinger spoons or something personally.

This is the one that I use. PM me your number and I can text it to anyone who wants it on their phone. I actually have it set as my wall paper on my phone so it is always available. It has worked wonderfully for me..

Yup that Bandit chart is basically the same as Precision Trolling. A google search for "Bandit Deep Walleye dive chart" can find that pic and then you can can save it. Hopefully this Jet 40 pic comes through I'm trying to post.

I have never heard of anyone using jets or trutrips with Bandits. I have added inline weight ahead of bandits with success when I was experimenting one day.

I tried using bandits and jets once it does not work! lol

got it thanks

The deep diving billed baits won't work behind jets, the cranks pull down on the back of the jet, witch doesn't allow the jet to dive to its intended depth,changes the dive curve of the jet making it plane at more level angle. I have used bombers, little rippers, storm, in the shallow diving bills with success.I second black pearls thoughts!
