VEXAN® Phat Boy™ Squarebill Crankbait

Built to bang cover and trigger reaction bites. The Phat Boy™ Squarebill pairs a reinforced bill and through-wire construction with VEXAN’s signature DEEP THUD™ rattle—engineered for long casts, hard deflection, and big-bass strikes in the shallows.

• ✅ Shallow workhorse: Dives to ~4 ft to grind riprap, stumps, and shallow points without hanging up.
• ✅ DEEP THUD™ rattle: Low-frequency knock calls fish in stained water and when wind puts fish on cover.
• ✅ Built for collision: Through-wire frame and reinforced lip handle contact with rock, wood, and hard bottom.
• ✅ Ready to stick: Outfitted with razor-sharp VEXAN trebles sized for solid hookups (#4).
• ✅ Confidence colors: Available in proven paint schemes to match shad, craw, and bluegill bites.

On-Water Use Case

• ✅ Power fishing in 2–5 ft: Burn around laydowns, docks, and wind-blown banks.
• ✅ Deflect on purpose: Make bottom and cover contact—then pause to trigger reaction strikes.
• ✅ Tune for depth: 12–15 lb fluoro for max dive; 15–17 lb for shallower, snag-resistant runs.

Why It Belongs in Your Box

Squarebills are shallow-water staples for a reason: they hunt tight cover, bounce off hard stuff, and get reaction bites when other baits stall. Phat Boy™ adds a heavy thud and durable build so you can throw it where big ones live—and bring it back for another cast.
