Favorite & Least Favorite Bandits, Reef Runners...

[FUBAR1]

Like most of you, me and my fishing buddies are dreaming of open water and a great bite. While having a few adult beverage we recently got on the topic of Bandit Walleye Deep and Reef Runner 800 cranks... which colors work well and which ones don't. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to start a negative post, I love Bandits and Reef Runners. They flat out catch fish. But some colors just don't seem to work as well as others. My favs are chartreuse blue back and Eriedescent, respectively. I can't catch a cold with parakeet or hot tamale, respectively. What's your experience?

I would have to say Spro pink lightning or bandit chrome black back for favorites. Don’t have any that don’t work yet. I’m sure the fish Gods will change that sometime…

You got it. I added both of them to my catalog and plan on making more of each pattern tonight. You can order them directly from the store, or email me with your payment info and I can place the order for you.

As for my other favorite spring patterns, it kind of depends on the conditions. However, all things considered, I would say my top 5 are as follows:

Smokeshow Shad
Nuclear Perch
Psycho Killer (was awesome in the fall, haven't tried it yet in the spring)
Glow Wonderbread (Same)
Grave Digger (Same)

That said, I do have another new one you may want to consider: "Pink Holographic"

Just added that one to the catalog today as well.

Nope, I have both, but I am out of the "Gold Diggers" at the moment. Waiting for my chrome blanks to show up. Here's the link to "Grave Digger"

Back when we started trolling 15yrs ago we mostly ran reefrunners.Bandits had not been made yet.Our favorite colors were eriedescent,grape ape and green flash.I did my best to try and get those reefrunners to run straight.Being a novice,i'm sure they were not running ideally. But we caught fish with them.Last month when organizing my gear,i took the last of the reefrunners out.Had not used one in years.Now,Bandits dominate the number of cranks i take with us.Hands down,the #1 bandit color is stock color Blue Chrome.Whenever we start fishing,we will almost always have at least one Blue Chrome Bandit out.Other favorite bandit colors are Pooh bear purple,humble bee,RC crush,Huff Daddy and IB frozen.But buying more cranks never end.

I firmly believe that the one who dies with the most lures wins…

I too have good luck with those colors Bob. Humble bee with stripes boated a bunch last year as did huff daddy. I do think black chrome caught a few more than blue chrome but both have teeth marks in them so who’s complaining.
