Have these been discontinued?  I can't find them anywhere locally.  And I've even having a hard time finding them online.  I can still find them online if I look hard enough, but places like Bass Pro, Academy, Tackle Warehouse, etc., don't seem to carry the Fat Boy anymore, but they have other crankbaits in the Norman line.  So while I could order from eBay or a company I haven't done business with before and wait who knows how long for shipping (which I might still do), are there any alternative squarebills that have a hard thump like the Fat Boy?  Perhaps something I can pick up locally this afternoon?  

 

I lost my second to last one yesterday on what might have been my PB, or a catfish.  Whatever it was, it took me for a short ride in my kayak before breaking my 12# Yo-Zuri Hybrid.  Serves me right for not checking the drag first.  I was getting bit left and right with that lure and couldn't get sniffed with any other squarebill I had with me.  And I immediately noticed none of the ones I was carrying had anywhere near the thump of the Fat Boy, so I'm attributing it to that.  Or the profile, which all of my other squarebills were more of a standard, elongated shape.  

They're still available, only place I know of to get them now is lurenet, just picked up a half dozen of them myself.
