Wingdam Cranks

James. Did you get a chance to try these yet?

Nope, not yet. “Life” jumped up and bit me in the butt.

I’ll be on pool 2 next week both tuesday in the afternoon and all day wednesday and I’ll have bandits along for a workout. I’ll report back after that second trip.

I love several of the colors. If they track well in the current I think they will be a keeper.

looks pretty much to what my walleye and saugar tackel box looks like but the firetiger works very good for the wingdams for me…

James or anybody else, have you got a chance to try the flat maxx’s yet? I’m intrigued, but don’t want to pull the trigger if they haven’t produced well.

I took the chance to throw some Bandit 300s and 400s along side the Bombers last week. They pull very similar to the Bombers and the walleyes seem to like them just fine. The only drawback I see to the Bandits is, although they seem to run a little deeper than a 6a Bomber they do not get down to the depths as quick.

Do they cast like a Bomber. Its hard to beat a bomber during a south wind.

Those bandits sure offer a lot of colors.

Let’s see… …52 colors, four of each color… …that’s gonna cost me $1200, and that’s just for the Deep Maxx’s…. …
James, are you gonna help with my lawyer bills, I think the Mrs. is gonna kill me if I can’t reign myself in.

Then there are the 200’s, 300’s, and walleye bandits… what’s a guy to do.
Seriously, thanks for bringing these to the forefront. I’ve been looking for a good replacement for my dwindling supply of Down Deep raps. I had tons but am down to a couple dozen now . These look like they may fit the bill!

I,ve been throwing the 200 for years …My favorite is the MIstake pattern

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Which side of that lure do they like better Tony.

now i know why i alawys get more fish than you you been using baits with no hooks

I tried trolling the 300 bandits a couple nights ago, they got down real deep at least 14ft that was the deepest water i fished. they spun out at about 2.5 , up to that they were fine . i ran about 120ft of 20lb stealth to get the 14 ft depth. caught 7 fish in a hour and ten minutes 2 sauger and 4 walleye allwere real small10 to 13 inch and one 22 inch walleye. all on the orange craw color also ran a firetiger on leadcore 80 ft back , no fish at all on it. the one thing i found most interesting was every fish was hooked on the front trebles, 2 were hooked on front and back but 5 were hooked only on the front. anyway i know this is a wingdam crank post but since your talking about bandits i figuerd i would share what i learned.

Ok….after coming back and reading this thread again…and still have the feeling I have to comment on this, here is my answer: The side with the teeth marks on it.
Thanks, Bill

Those are my teeth marks Bill, I didn’t have my glasses on and couldn’t bite the line

Hey Tony did the fish seem to prefer the leadcore or the stealth?

I’m not sure about the fish, but the leadcore is easier to bite off than the stealth
