Quick take
The Bandit Walleye Deep is a slender 4 3/4-inch minnow-style jerkbait that weighs five-eighths of an ounce. It is built to run deep, diving to about 27 feet, which suits anglers trolling for walleye, zander and other predator fish. Its wide, searching swim makes it a practical pick for open-water trolling.
