Hook Pairing Recommendations:
These pair great with size 8-10 Creek Life Tungsten Bead Jig Heads, or single hooks and Micro EWG Hooks
Fishing Methods:
Lurking beneath the creek stones like its namesake, the Boulder Bandit is a sculpin-style soft plastic bait built for ambush. Modeled after the elusive mountain sculpin from Appalachian streams, this compact bottom-dweller is the perfect tool for tricking wary trout, smallmouth, and panfish in clear, shallow waters.
With a realistic profile, subtle tail flick, and textured body that mimics real creek fish, the Bandit blends seamlessly with rock and gravel bottoms — making it a deadly choice when fish are hugging the creekbed and playing hard to catch.
HOW TO FISH THE BOULDER BANDIT:
-
Drop Shot Rig – Most effective. Let the Bandit hover just above rock structure, twitch subtly, and pause. Deadly for picky fish.
-
Split Shot Rig – Great for shallow runs. Drag slowly along the bottom for natural, stunned baitfish action.
-
Micro Jig Head – Bounce it along boulders and ledges. The stubby profile and natural fall trigger ambush strikes.
-
Free Rig or Weightless – For spooky creeks or pressured water, let the Bandit glide naturally into eddies and pools.
WHY CHOOSE THE BOULDER BANDIT:
-
Designed to match native creek sculpin and darter species
-
Perfect for fishing boulders, ledges, log jams, and undercut banks
-
Subtle action ideal for cold fronts, pressured fish, and ultra-clear water
-
Available in hyper-realistic Appalachian colorways
Whether you're chasing wild trout in misty hollers or slipping after smallmouth in rocky shoals, the Boulder Bandit gives you an edge where it counts — down low, where the fish live and the bites are earned.
