I have quite a few Bandits. 100s and 200s. Mostly 200s. Some are almost 40 yrs old. You have a pic of the spotted monkey? Can you describe the color?

It’s black with yellow spots and the belly is black.they made another one that’s called yellow fever it’s the same bait but the belly is yellow.B46 is the color code for spotted monkey.

I'll look today. But I don't recall having anything like that.

Not sure why that color would be called a Bull Shoals special. Most cranks used on Bull would be either the Rock Crawler or the Wiggle Wart in shad or crawfish colors.

I was told it was sold a lot in that part of the country.

Here are most of the Bandits I have. No black with yellow dots though.

That spotted monkey color isn’t that old I don’t understand why no one has it.

Then call them directly and ask ... although they may have been affected by the hurricane, as they are in Florida

I called no response I messaged there FB no response. This is going to be one of those baits you walk into a old tackle shop and find and the baits not that old.

But it’s not a cool name like spotted monkey

Let us know if you do find your Spotted Monkey crankbait.

I've lived 5 minutes from Bull Shoals lake for the last 20 years and fished it a ton during that time. Both in tournaments and fun fishing with friends. I've not only never heard of the Bandit Spotted Monkey, but I've never, ever heard or seen anyone else use a black Bandit crankbait with yellow spots. I've never used a black crankbait of any brand nor seen anyone else using one on Bull. So, just call me confused (and doubtful) about the Spotted Monkey being the favorite crankbait on Bull Shoals lake. As I mentioned earlier, the favorite crankbait here on Bull has always been the Wiggle Wart. In recent years, the Rock Crawler has entered the mix and is now likely THE favorite crankbait on Bull.

I was told it was made for that part of the country that’s it. You couldn’t give me a rock crawler they bust out more bills than a dt6. It’s a cool name crankbait and color and I just wanted to find it.

I don't have it myself, I have some that I mainly used for trolling for crappie. If I did see that color back in the day when I was buying them, I would not have bought it as I would not see it as being a fish catching color compared to the others.

Agree it’s not a pretty color I don’t know why it was supposedly made for that region of the country

[NattyLite]

If you have one maybe contact a custom lure painter and have him make some. My son swears by this purple bandit that is discontinue but I have got a friend that buys them unpainted and paints them up for him.
