Off Topic Some new lure porn

[rastam4n]

Just received my order with some of the new colours. I’m told these work great for slow trolling in the spring.

Yes actually, I purchased these from https://www.eriegardlesssportfishing.com/custom-painted-walleye-lures/
Super easy to deal with, just keep in mind it’s taking extra time to ship things these days.
I’m now thinking of placing all my orders for April delivery.

walleye central chats highly about the bandits catching ohio waters erie pickeral..
the older reef runners and shiners use to be home grown made for ohio lake erie..offer natural colours as well..

Oh there are tons of colours including black and gold. I just haven’t had much luck with those colours. Blues greens and an accent of orange. Or purple and yellow have been what works for me. They say these are “custom” colours.

I have a couple of Bandit Deep I use off boards. They catch fish but can't say they are any better than other body baits I use. The ones you just purchased are a lot more flashy though.

Can Bandits be trolled 2.5-3.0 mph?

Sure can.

put limits in my boat every trip running bandits

 

[hvyhaul]

They look really nice, little works of art.

 

[rastam4n]

Can Bandits be trolled 2.5-3.0 mph?

My understanding is most guys switch to P22's once the troll is faster, although I have never had success at 3mph, I typically stay under 2.6 unless the conditions require me to move faster in order to keep the boat straight...ish.

 

[Derkd9]

3mph boat speed or 3mph fish hawk measurement

Yah, I like how they have painted in the scales, almost have the effect of a hex pattern
