That's too bad.  In the past  Bandit has put out several colors and patterns, that put  a lot of fish in my well. And kept money in my pocket.

Bandit 200's have been my bread n butter, Go to crank for years.

I have a Classic win on Belleville (Back in 2008) that I owe to a Bandit 200 in Rootbeer.

It is one of my strongest confidence baits!

I always felt Bandits were very much like Bomber 6A's.  It makes sense that Pradco would buy them.  Their lip was very Bomber like.  I felt they even ran a lot like Bomber in the water.  What they did have was some unique patterns.  That will be what I miss.  There were some patterns that you could not find on any other hard bait.  If Pradco adapts those patterns to the Bombers then it will be a better bait than it originally was.  Just my 3 cents from a guy that uses cranks as his "go to" bait.

It could make them better just as well as any other possibility. But we anglers can be a 'superstitious' lot, can't we. ;D
