Large Bandit

The Large Bandit was one of the original designs from TANTRUM Lures—and remains the most successful. With countless tournament wins and multiple 500lb+ blue marlin to its name, it reached legendary status after a 985lb blue marlin was landed by Captain Jeff Le Strange in Vava’u, Tonga.

Its high-splash, side-to-side action consistently draws big blue and black marlin, making it a must-have in any spread. While it’s best known for running in the short rigger and long corner positions, the Bandit performs beautifully anywhere.

Don’t make the mistake of under-rigging—this lure was built for giants.
