Bandit Footloose wanna be with Larger Profile?

Post by bigrand33 » Thu Mar 24, 2011 6:37 am

I am looking for a bait that runs the same depth as the Bandit Footloose. It runs 0-1ft. Yet I would like it to be bigger or have a larger profile. The Footloose is 2" long. I have been having lots of success with it yet was hoping to search for larger fish with the bait.

Try the Mann's Waker Elite. It has a much larger profile than the Bandit Footloose.

Thanks guys for the response. I'm not sold on how big. Yet the superstretch might be too long. I would like to stay with the crankbait shape. I have thrown the Mann's Waker but haven't gotten much response.

Rapala DT Fat 01 - almost 3 inches long and stays with in about a foot of the surface.

The Ima Roumba is worth a look. Also, XCalibur has a waker with a BIG profile.
