Norman flat broke that is.Have you guys gotten to use it? I picked one up earlier and think it may offer something a bit diffrent than the fat squarebills EVERYONE'S throwing. I cant think of any other thin, yet jointed shallow cranks. Runs down to 3', so it should do good on a certain prespawn flat I frequent.

I got'em too and they catch fish!!! You need to fish it a little slower and not into cover like a normal square bill. I throw it around stumps and weedbeds like the normal square bill but instead of running it into the stums or ripping it through weeds I fish it close to but in the cover. You'll like the bits you get, what is fun is you reel it at a normal rate, not fast or slow but as you get clost to cover just stop reeling for 2 seconds and then give it a couple of quick cranks, the fish really come off the cover to whack them and they seem better in clearer water than a normal square bill.

Awesome man cant wait to get em wet. How do they cast?

Not really bad as they have a little weight to them but a long overhand distance cast might make it helicopter but I'm not sure, that is a target bait for me.

A nice under-the-radar flat side crank. It's worked well for me this year on the Potomac.

must have a crazy shimmy to it w/ the split side action? not the typical "hunting" action of the squarebill craze?

Good bait craww. Somebody had them on sale last year, and I bought half a dozen. Found them to be good in clear water, outside weed edges.

They are much more subtle in the water than I expected. Probably what makes them good for clearer water.

They are not what you want for a long casting bait. Any jointed hardbait will catch the air and tumble if you you try to really torque out a long cast, and these are no exception.

Good to hear .Ghoti. I inherited a few of the old original thin fins (I think thats the name) and those things casts like a potato chip! Man they catch fish though, lol.
