    Default What Size Bandits??


    What size bandits are the most popular for trolling? I have a lot of 200's on hand but I think i need to get more 300's.

    300's seem more popular for getting down deeper in the water column during summer months but 200's will catch fish as well. You may have to let out more line to get a bit deeper with the 200's but crappie will come up to hit a bait and if you have the right color above 'em they'll hit it.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Take a look at the deep chart for both and you can see that the 300 will run just as shallow as the 200 but will also run deeper , don't see the need for the 200s

    Greg is right....300's is the way to go unless you are fishing very shallow water and want to get the bait further from the boat.....in most instances 300's is all you need.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    300 series in Awesome Pink works well for me.

    My favorite as well! I have never bought a 200, but I don't see the need for one.
