Noticed TW did not have the Fat Boy, and a quick Google search told me Norman Lures has discontinued it.  With all the Baby 1 minus baits on ebay going for $16+, I went ahead and ordered some Fat Boys @ $6.29 from Vimage Outdoors.  Just a heads up to grab some while you can...only a few places have them 

Thanks for the heads up 

I noticed that one of my local tackle haunts was declining on selection on the one minus for a minute. I figured that it was coming but never took heed, doesn’t really matter too much anymore since I offloaded most of my tackle and gear last year. Although it probably means I didn’t need it lol, but it’s still a sad loss.

Please watch your language.  This is a family forum.

Just a heads up, my friend from my local club Nick Fulks of Fulks Custom Cranks bought out all the remaining inventory of Baby 1- when Mann's shut things down. He's been selling those as well as the vintage one's with repaints on his website. I believe he also has sourced a manufacturer to start making new blanks as well of the 1-. So hit up the FulksCustomCranks website if you need Baby 1 Minus. 

Now that it is discontinued, it isn't a "cheap plastic E1 knockoff" anymore.  I have 2 in use, and the new Fat Boys I ordered will probably remain in the package as collector items.  What just happened 🤷‍♀️

Like most of my hard baits, I have had three Fat Boys for years. They get limited use in the summer over submergent weeds, but when I do use them, they produce. Sorry to hear that future generations won't have the option to use them.

LokiDawg, check out that lot of cranks you got from me. I think there may be one in the group.

Shimano makes a super shallow runner. Perhaps give it a chance and see..

Laurenet has them. I saw 8 colors at 7.49 so that’s an option.
