solving the bandit 100 mystery

[zooker]

i like using the bandit 100's cause they slap catch fish..
now i have had no consistent problems with any other bandit brand crankbaits..
but if you have ever used this bait much you know for some unexplained reason bass tend to come unbuttoned consistently. more so on this bait than many others.. i have no idea way they come unhooked, weather it be the lip shape, the body shape, or the truely crappy hooks..


the first two there is not much you can do to help on a shallow diver..
i solved the hook problem this way a long shanked mustad treble on the rear and the short shanked gammy treble on the front..most of the time i fish them in shallow dense cover.

if you do get a bass on the front hook chances are the rear hook will be attached also.. i have rarely lost fish from a mustad tripple grip hook..
