BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 23, 2019 BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 23, 2019 Hey did you know ALL Norman lures are made in America? From concept to store shelves, everything is done right in their Alabama and Arkansas locations. Which Norman lure would YOU throw if you were fishing right now? 5 Quote
Super User jimmyjoe Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 I'd throw the Fat Boy, which I have. It's the only one of the Norman lures that can be counted on to run true right out of the package. I've used Norman lures for over 30 years, and that's the way they've been for over 30 years.( I've heard that the Fat Boy isn't even a Norman design, but I don't know that for sure.) The rest of them are kinda like the rich uncle who's always drunk; you tolerate the bad points to get the birthday presents. As much as I've cussed them, Bill Norman's little babies have given me some really nice birthday presents. Pounds and pounds worth. jj Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 Yes sir I did ? Still the hottest deep diver round here. DD-22 DD-22 HD NXS Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 Norman Little N along riprap . Quote
Super User MickD Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 DBN in gel craw finish. It's a SMB killer, has been for probably 20 years since I discovered it. It's a little different than the DLN, a little slimmer, and I think it catches SMB better than the DLN. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 I'd take that little guy in the bottom center of that picture up to Erie and catch some big smallies! Quote
Super User WRB Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 Been using Norman lures for decades, DD14 and DD22 are my go to deep divers. Tom Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 I would be throwing a Deep Baby N or the Middle N. I have one NXS but haven't caught anything with it yet. I don't even own a DD14 or a DD22. Most of the places I fish you don't need a super deep diver. 1 Quote
river-rat Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I still use the Big N and Little N for shallow cranking. For deeper cranking I'm partial to the DD 14 and DD 22. Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted May 24, 2019 Super User Posted May 24, 2019 I would probably be throwing a little N. And I love the fact that their still made in the great USA. Quote
papajoe222 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Picked up a couple of Fat Boys. The packaging had changed. Looked closely and saw Made in Mexico. Evidently, they (Pradco) moved the manufacturing down there last year. 1 Quote

It is my understanding that all of their models are designed and built here. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 24, 2019 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 24, 2019 All Norman lures are molded in Fort Smith, Arkansas. They are decorated in Guatemala. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 26, 2019 Global Moderator Posted May 26, 2019 Little fellas were chewing on the Fat Boy pretty good a few days ago. Quote
bassheel Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 All my Fat Boys needs to be tuned out the box. Quote
