tholmes Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Any of you experts here know what this crankbait is? I got it in a lot of baits that I bought from another forum member and I've been murdering the local bass population with it. I'd like to get a few more, but I don't know what it is. THANKS!

Super User deaknh03 Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 looks like a bandit, I have a few like that, just different color sparkles. Quote
guitarkid Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I was thinking of some sort of Norman. -gk Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 Guitarkid, your right, it is a norman. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 I agree its a norman I'm 99% positive I just looked at the same one at my local walmart Quote
Five-Alive Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 looks like a Norman Little N to me, but I am not familiar with that color. Quote
St James Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Bandit 100 series tennessee shad w/sparkle. I'm 99.9% sure I have the same one in a 200 series (deeper diving) and the only difference is eye color (bandit changes eye colors constantly) I know it looks like a Norman little n Tennessee shad (which is almost identical to a bandit 100 series) but I don't think they paint their baits with sparkles and bandit sometimes does. Either or, whichever one you wish it to be hope I helped Quote
brushhoggin Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 another vote for Norman. bandit's eyes aren't that close together Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 Norman Little N i think its official. Quote
The Bassinator Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Looks like a norman to me the eyes give it away Quote

Either or, whichever one you wish it to be hope I helped Norman has what they call gel coat finishes ,it sparkles , a very nice finish. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 I'd say Norman based on the close together eyes. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Is this it? http://www.normanlures.com/products/view/2/7 Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Here is the full color selection of Normans http://www.normanlures.com/products/color_chart/2/7#Limited Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 29, 2011 Global Moderator Posted April 29, 2011 Norman Little N i think its official. ^right on the head. I'd bet my cranking rod on it. Banits body style is a lot shorter and more rounded and the lip is wider. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 ew ew ewwwww pick me!!!!! Is it a Rapala? JK def norman. There is something about a Norman crankbait that is special. Kind of like a classic car or a good home cooked meal. They make me feel all warm inside! See my avatar picture? Same color but it was a DD22! Quote
tholmes Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 THanks, guys! It's definitely a Norman. I guess I should have included something in the picture to give some indication as to size. It's definitely larger than a Baby N. From the links provided above, I'm pretty sure that it's a Big N in Mean Green Gelcote. This lure: in this color: Thanks again! Tom Quote
St James Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Norman has what they call gel coat finishes ,it sparkles , a very nice finish. ok I looked again and I was wrong, its a Norman (bandit has scales where it changes from yellow to black and also bandits eyes arn't so close together) sorry guys Quote
