Description

SPRO Little John Crankbaits

Built to run at 3 to 5 feet deep, the tournament-proven SPRO® Little John Crankbait features a unique lip made from a computer chip board. The computer chip board lip creates more feel and is more durable than traditional plastics lips. The Little John is great for targeting suspended bass and the silent weight transfer system which uses soft tungsten translates into incredibly long casts for a small crankbait, even in windy conditions. Complete with sharp Gamakatsu® treble hooks, the Little John is sure to become one of the most effective crankbaits in the water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MDavis2007 from Excellent CB This is an excellent crankbait. Very tight and consistent action with flat profile is deadly on bass. My favorite pattern (may be discontinued now) resembles a Strike King sexy shad. Cant go wrong with this lure. May cost a little more than some but definitely worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jig4Bass from Crank with a "little" more Excellent crank for shallow bass and even crappie; mine is the citrus shad. What I find to be the "secret" to this bait's success is not only the flash from its flat sides, but the slow rise it has. I think any bass following it rushes in when the lure pauses after hitting cover and remaining motionless for a fraction of a second.

Rated 4 out of 5 by FLYNRINDER57 from SPRO CRANKBAIT Long casting, good tune, hits at a good depth and relatively snag free except for reverse rock ledges. Lost one of two purchased first day...HEY...that's fishing. I have confidence in this bait.

Rated 4 out of 5 by fstr385 from Expensive, but awesome I would give this lure 5 stars if it weren't for the price. Some suppliers sell them a few dollars cheaper than bps, and even that is about all Id like to spend on a lure, but they work awesome. I got one to try and am going to get a handful more. Ive never been a crank bait guy or caught so many fish on one till this one. The color selection is different than many others too giving an anglers arsenal more selection for conditions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MIGS19 from Great Love this crankbait, has outfished some other crankbaits of mine 2:1 or 3:1 at times. I wish they made them in different sizes, would prefer something a tad heavier (5/8 oz or so); for some reason this doesn't cast as well as my 1/2 oz SK Red Eye Shad despite being the same size. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it's very pricey, but if you're willing to overlook that, it's a no-doubt 5-star crankbait.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nmigliore from Great product Took it to a local pond and it worked very well! Very easy to fish, just cast it out and reel it back on a medium-fast retrieve (though you can change speeds to see what the bass like). Catches weeds they easy to remove after each cast and the big bass make it worth it! Great crankbait!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wylieboy from Spro Little John CB Great consistent action and feel moving through the water, and while bouncing of the bottom maintaining a balanced wobble. "Cell Mate" color mimics a bar fish, so great for Texas lakes. First time I saw the Spro Little John was while taking a fishing buddy to Lake Tawakoni pre fishing for a tournament, and proceeded to catch Hybrids up to 5 pounds, countless sand bass, catfish, and topped the day off with a 7 pound largemouth of a secondary point. I bought three after that trip!

Rated 5 out of 5 by leftty from Little Buddy It is crazy how many big fish i have caught on this little bait . The color selection is off the chart and my two faverite are Spookey Shad and Chartruse Black Back. My little buddy stays on the deck from March to November . Be sure to give it a test drive during the shad spawn , thats when it really shines.

Questions & Answers

What is the best way to fish with this lure?

Asked by: LureKiller

I like to make contact with rocks and cover. The bait is relatively snag free and I have confidence casting the Spro into any type of wood cover. If cold water, I will slow it down to a steady retrieve. I want to make contact because strikes ususally occur when the bait deflects off of the cover. Sometimes I will "finesse" the bait by pulling the rod tip instead of a steady reel. This works good in colder water. I will let it pause sometimes five to tens seconds.

what do you think is the very best color for bass in this lure?

Asked by: lurecollector

Each fishing location will be different, even each trip to the same area might have different results so there isn’t really a “Best” color to use when fishing. One color may work better one time but not as well the next time you fish. So, when selecting a lure color take a look at your surrounds (landscape and wildlife) to determine the color of lure to use. If the water is dark and murky (or stained) use bright and/or fluorescent colors that can draw the fish’s attention to the lure. If the water is clear, look around if the area and use colors which blend with the surrounds. If the area is rocky use a brown, tan, or a similar color. If there is grass and weeds then use more of the green colors. Each location will be different so try a good range of colors. Thank you for your question.
