PRADCO acquires Bandit
Looks like PRADCO scooped up another company. I used to throw Bandits a lot until they moved the manufacturing to Mexico (and quit using Mustad Triple Grips). Interesting news, maybe they will regain some quality...but sadly probably not. Also, sad that they are shutting down the original operations.

Another one bites the dust

Wow...almost as bad as Yakima buying out Poes.
Agreed, quality will likely not be coming back up to the first-gen Bandits with the triple grips.

I just started using Bandits and like them, guess I need to stock up before the switch.

First the quality will go down and then they will re-name the baits "Original Bandits"
