    Default bandit colors


    If you only had 4 or 5 different color bandits. What would they be..I better tell you about the water I fish. Gizzard shad is the main bait fish. Sand to silt bottom. A canal runs into the north end of the lake and out the north end further down. This north end water always looks a lot more dirty. The south 3/4 of the lake isn't to bad you can see your stainless prop most of the time, but not always. Most of the fish are white bass ,crappie catfish, some walleye . And a few wipers. Any advice on colors you can give me is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Almost an unlimited choice of favorites by searching "favorite bandit colors". I think each lake is different. Some colors that people catch bunches on won't buy a bite when I run them.

    A couple bright colors, a few mute colors, some shiny ones, and don't forgot dark/dull. Fine tune in each color class from there.

    Basically what we are saying is, you may have 4 or 5 base colors but you will end up with about 15 in the tackle box. Some times it's a small change in color from day to day, it could be weather, water temp or they just are finicky that day.

    Purple, chartruese, green and white are my base colors and every variation of each from there.

    And what you don't want .... is just ONE of every favorite color Prepare yourself for collecting the local favorites in threes & fours !!

    Watch the Personal Classifieds here, and you may get in on a deal for some Bandits. I've seen several posts, in recent history, where members were selling them ... but you gotta be quick, as those sales don't last very long.
