Bandit cranks

I just heard yesterday Bandit lures was sold to Lurenet company(Lindy, Bomber,Heddon, & Cotton Cordell) so as long as I was driving past local BassPro I stopped in to see what selection on Bandit cranks they had, well they had cut back their selection to about 8 of size 300 & were out of 3 of them leaving only mad cow, butter scotch, blue back herring,& sparkle ghost. OK so I have caught on the mad cow & sparkle ghost so I bought a couple each of these BUT, these that I bought are stamped on back of pkg "Made in China". All my older bandits were made in Sardis,MS I believe. I read somewhere that sale was official beginning of October. Well I will have to see how these NEW bandits run.

I was under the impression they have always been made in China and distributed by the Bandit company? DP

They have been made in china for a few years. If you look close at em you can see the eyes are slanted.

I looked thru about a dozen different colors of size 200 and none had the made in China sticker on them???

They all have been made in China for quite some time.

I have a bunch of the 300's. If they are going to change them up I'll have to start painting my own. I don't want to spend the money for the airbrush and equipment but I won't but low quality stuff either. I sometimes find some at the flea market or yard sales that could stand a paint job for a buck or less, maybe it's time.
