Why these fit
For shallow bassin’, the best first pick is a shallow squarebill crankbait, and the Norman Fat Boy family is built for that. It runs from the surface down to about 4 feet, has a hard wobble, and is meant to deflect off wood, rock, banks, and other shallow cover to trigger reaction bites.
The color variants like Norman Fat Boy-Olive Blue, Norman Fat Boy-Rainbow Shad, and Norman Fat Boy-Holy Shad give you the same shallow-cover profile with different looks for clearer or dirtier water and different forage moods.
If bass are specifically keyed on craws in shallow water, Norman Speed N CW Crawdad is the better match from the retrieved set.
Technique notes
- Cast the squarebill shallow and keep it in the top few feet.
- Use a steady retrieve so it hunts and wobbles hard.
- Let it bang into wood, rock, or bank cover and deflect free.
- Fish it around shallow banks, laydowns, riprap, and shallow structure.
- If bass are on crawfish, work the craw pattern around bottom contact and cover.
When to switch
Switch away from a squarebill if bass are deeper than about 4 feet, suspended, or not reacting to moving baits. In that case, a different crank depth, jig, or soft-plastic presentation may be better. If they want a slower craw profile instead of a reaction bait, lean more toward the craw option.
