Re: Bandit Colors
if by chance the bandits don't catch fish it may not be the color as much as the depth the baits are running. try any deep diving crank or try changing your leads. back in the mid 80s our hot baits was standard hot n tots and wiggle warts that never dived as deep as bandits do. but at times we tried anything we had. one may we werern't catching fish on anything we was using. so we got desperate and put out a couple of wee warts and tiny tots. 2 hrs later we headed in with a nice limit of fish for 4. back then we just flatlined then and never added weights. some days having your lures at the right depth is way more important than color.
if the bandit colors caught your wife then they should catch some fish if your leads put them at the right depth. the only reason to use weights with bandits is in deeper water and you are marking fish deep or just to run shorter leads.
back when we started trolling the western basin we just used the same spinning gear we had been using drift fishing. but if you have line counter reels you can adjust leads as needed.
