The Bandit comes in both deep and shallow styles.I do not have any of the shallow bandits and not sure if can use behind a dipsey.I know people run P10 behind dipseys though.The reason you dont run a diving lure behind a dipsey is because the crankbait can pull the dipsey downward.That would affect the dive curve of dipsey,would have to increase tension on release arm to negate that pull and cause tangles, because the crank is pulling down a dipsey that is set to run to the side.

We run shallow and deep bandits behind the Dipsy's.. we never really have to adjust the trigger for the deep cranks, but I agree, the increased pull of the bait may have some effect on dive curve. We play with the leads a lot, but once we find a range that works, we'll leave it.

Yes the name of stock color is humble bee.Its all yellow in color.The one guy I fish with loves it.Some days it works great.To get added depth on the bandits we add a 2oz sinker.That adds about 8ft of depth or 4ft/oz to your depth.The past two seasons we have done well running bandits in the deep water east of kellies with bandits with 50ft/2oz then another 70 to 130ft of line for total of 120-180 on inline boards going around 2.5mph.That gets you as deep as you are going to get on inline boards unless you use 3oz which some use.

Was the spoon bite down last summer from what it had been in previous years? IT seemed liked more and more people were using crankbaits last summer in stead of spoons.

Yes the chrome blue back is the one you want.Get 2 of them.Belly color orange and probably why the color works so well.We,and a lot of the best trollers always start with at least one blue chrome on one rod.

A lot of fish were caught last summer with spoons.Yourselves,have been using more spoon harnesses.As the water temp rose last year we did switch over to running more cranks,but kept at least 2 dipsey/spoons running.It wasn't until like Sept when the spoons stopped catching and ran 2 flicker shad off our dipseys.and cranks off our 4 inline with long leads and 2oz weights.
