Looks like a Ledge 250 Bandit. Is it larger than a 300? They are no longer in production.
Pretty sure it is a 300...i have a couple like it
Chartreuse sparkle
It should be a 300 because that's all I've ever bought to my knowledge. But it's not a chartreuse sparkle because that one is a solid chartreuse with glitter on it, I have some of those too. I've looked back at all of my internet orders and still can't find this particular color. I don't know where I got 2 of them but I wish I had some more.
Send the picture and description to bandit lures dot com.
Actually, I called them and got an email address from them and sent them a picture. They responded saying it's currently not in their catalog but they were going to look back at previous catalogs to see if they could identify it. Doesn't sound too good to me about getting anymore of them though. We'll see what they say.Quote:

Bandit used to have a Clearance page that I bought tons of baits off of, most to repaint but several that I consistently caught crappie on. One of those colors was called "Old Light". At one time I probably had 1 1/2 dozen of them. Lost the last 2 I had on a guide trip a couple weeks ago.
Contact Scottv on the Miss Board and he can paint you anything you want.
I was thinking that I may have to do that actually. But I wasn't sure who to ask to make them, I've bought stuff from Scottv before, he's a good guy.Quote:

I did a google search for Old Light Matte Bandits and it looks like you might can still get some in the 200 series. If you're pushing cranks 200 vs 300 might not make that much difference.Quote:

I'm thinking that color in the pic might be taco salad.

Yep, old light is good..I have 3 left... You will like Scott's work
I think Wannabe is right...Taco Salad
Nope not taco salad, or blue splatter back according to Grizzly catalog...I can't believe I can't remember the name....
You're right it's not either of those, Taco Salad has a more green back and neither of them have the plum colored belly. I sure appreciate everyone trying to help though. I think Bandit needs to bring it back for a while, that sucker was beating the socks off everything else I was using. I thought if I could find the name of it I might find some old stock somewhere.Quote:

Thanks but no thanks at those prices. I'll paint my own c55s.Quote:

That's it for sure. This is what they call a chartreuse sparkle now.Attachment 242168 are you taking bids on it?:biggrin
It's a bandit 371. [emoji23][emoji23]
Maybe if enough of us send an email with that picture they will start production of them again.
I think you will see that color this fall by another company
That sounds good to me.Quote:

It's hard to believe they discontinued it.
Hard to believe they canceled the crappie colors they did...Didn't give them a chance.
Twinkie or ho ho. Your pickQuote:

In other news, I've decided to rename all of Bandit's colors to make it easier to identify them. My fist decision is to discontinue the current Chartruese Sparkle, reinstate the old Chatreuse Sparkle and rename it Taco Salad.
Wannabe...
I literally laughed out loud on that one. I think we have to rename it something easier than chartreuse anything since most of us can't even spell it right. Sorry Wannabe, even though you didn't spell it right 3 times, I still thought it was funny. No offense.Quote:

I proposed we name it G's Taco Chartruese Sparkle Salad with Avacado spelled exactly like I typed to dangit! But if that's too long we can just call it the G Burrito.
Wannabe...
Ps, after I get done with the bandit rename work, imma call Mr. Webster and get him straight on the spelling of a whole bunch of words.
