Bought one last week and threw it some in a pond Saturday afternoon to look at the action. I know the new KVD's catch fish but this one may be a killer to. I've never seen a crankbait wobble like it. I hope I can get out sometime this week and put it to work. Anyone tried one out?

Tried one new out of the package on Saturday, it didn't run straight. I had to tune it. It looked pretty good.

That is the first bandit I have ever had to tune the was new...

I use the Bandit deep divers and have never had a problem with them. May need to try out the square bills!

You have to decide which is more important.

I've had success with the Bandit "FlatMaxx" which has a square bill and thinner profile, but I have not tried a regular Bandit with a square bill.

In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

2011 Bassmaster Classic's winning lure!

Overbuilt chunk
Scrumptious bass treat
Rumbles down to a 3'-5' plane
Square lip prevents most snags
Perfect color schemes
This overbuilt chunk of a scrumptious bass treat rumbles down to a 3'-5' plane in both sizes, the ideal depth for a do-it-all cranker.

Sorry for any confusion but I'm talking about the new Bandit Squarebill. That's actually the name on the package. It's not the 100 series, it's quite a bit larger, has a different bill shape and angle, etc. It's just hit the pegs in the last month or so.
