New Bandit Rack-It Deflects and Makes Noise

July 13, 2018 By In-Fisherman Online Staff

The new Bandit Rack-It combines deflection, action and sound for a fully well-rounded square bill crankbait. The square bill design is built for cranking through rocks and wood, bouncing off everything it hits. The molded in square bill is shaved on the edges which combined with the ideal pull point placement creates an aggressive, erratic hunting action at any retrieval speed without losing control and running on its side.

Another feature separating the the Rack-It from the pack is the unique sound. Emitting from a rattle chamber inside the butyrate body is a sound totally new to the bass sure to spur a violent reactive response.

The 2.75-inch, .625-ounce Rack-It is designed to run four to six feet deep and is equipped with two size 4 treble hooks. Twelve colors are available with an MSRP of $6.99. www.banditlures.com

Being A Better Sportsman!!

Captain Ross Robertson talks about our responsibility as anglers to take care of the fishing resource no matter where you launch your boat. The technology available to anglers today has certainly made us all more productive, but the creel limits currently in place are largely outdated and need to be adjust to accommodate increased angler success. This means personal responsibility is key to preserving our wonderful fishery. Let's work together to be better stewards of our natural resources.
