Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g), the body of this flat-sided crankbait features a striking bumble bee perch pattern characterized by a brilliant yellow and orange belly transitioning into a dark, glitter-infused back. Norman produced this specific Thin N model, identified by product code 13048, to reach depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 8.5 ft (2.6 m) when casting or trolling. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) profile is accented by vertical black bars and a heavy coating of blue and green sparkles that catch the light through its clear, rounded diving lip. This floating specimen from the USA includes internal rattles and maintains its original hardware. The finish and hooks are in excellent 5/5 condition, preserving the vivid contrast of the perch-inspired palette.
