Bandit 100 Problem

[dallman]

I have been using bandit 100's in the morning and shifting to 300's after the sun gets up and hot. I have the 100's in a plano elite box. I was looking at the lures changing colors and saw what i thought were scratches are actually the paint splitting. These lures are not old and a couple have not even been in the water. I hope bandit will make good on their lures. Anyway I would keep them out of the sun especially in a clear plastic box.
Sorry about it being upside down.

I keep mine in plano boxes as well but keep the plano boxes in an old soft sided cooler the majority of the time, and I have not noticed any splitting on mine.

I am pretty sure someone had the same problem last summer. Sure someone will chime in with the real story.

Have heard of others having the same problem if you leave them in direct sunlight while fishing all day.i usually keep mine in the shade and have never had any

I have left baits I have painted and sealed with epoxy out in full sun for days at a time while fishing with no problems. Sounds like they have a clear-coat issue.

My boat and tackle stay in my garage when not on the water.

I keep mine in a clear plastic box but I cover the box with duct tape. Never had a problem and when we troll it's daylight till dark most of the time in direct sun.

I paint my box tops with white paint for plastic. They get extremely hot in direct sun light. I have never seen my crank baits do that though. Curious what Bandit says??

Keep out of sun

Best to use soft side ice chest for baits

I talked to Steven at Bandit and they are going to replace the lures. I am going to paint the boxes white.
