SPRO Crankbaits : Bass Specific Breakdown

John Crews is a veteran professional bass angler and lure designer. He has designed the entire SPRO Little John and Fat John line up. He explains the history of the line up and walks you through each crankbait. Each lure is designed for a purpose and has a time they shine to listen to John explain the baits and let them catch more bass for you.

Great explanation of the Crews lineup of Spros. Thank you for taking the time for us to understand better.

[@derektaylorfishing]

Thanks John for this video. Been with SPRO for nearly 10 years and this will help Anglers find their niche in the SPRO lineup. Fat John 60 is my favorite go to for SE Texas lakes.

Stumbled on this today between seeing patients. Great break from all this craziness!! Just got word Florida is now on lock down...No Lake Seminole for me this weekend. Guess I'll be online shopping for some crankbaits! LOL....Ya'll please be safe out there....

[@nickcavazos5718]

From top to bottom your series of baits are one of if not the best line of billed baits out there. the sticks and papas are right up there as well. The only thing I’ve been wanting to see is hard topwater baits like poppers, ploppers and walkers. With spro nailing unique categories it’s probably tough to do with the hundreds of topwater plugs but I’d spend my money on them if they decided to put some out!!

[@JohnCrews]

Nick Cavazos Some are coming! Thanks man

[@nickcavazos5718]

John Crews NIIIIICE!!

[@larryb878]

Thanks for the great video! My wife and I got back into fishing three years ago and living in the Ozarks bought a few RK crawlers and loved them. A few months ago I branched out and bought a few of your baits and have done very well on them. This video will help us use the right Spro baits at the right time. Thank you!

[@tyrionlannister1628]

Just picked up the RkCrawler MD55, can’t wait to try it out!

[@dong8307]

Lil John one of my favorite crankbaits.Legit!

[@vidsoutmike]

Our Toledo Bend bass love all the SPRO lineup. My boxes are full of all of them.

[@warrenwhite7831]

Wow what a great explanation of these baits . How about a spring , summer and fall sack / package for your KZbin fans. Of 4-5 baits in your favorite colors for each season with an included card reviewing the selection of baits and colors? I think you would be shocked how many you would move . I know it's not always easy to find a big selection of these in stores at times. Thanks and look forward to your response. Keep up the good work

[@JohnCrews]

Warren White Will do!!

[@spencerb891]

I’ve been absolutely slaying smallies with rock crawler 55. Just got some little johns I am going to try out.

[@umi415]

Those md50 are my go to mid cranks year round!

[@brucecallisjr6977]

Awesome!! A great explanation of each bait and how it is designed to work. Love them!! Can't wait to get to some much deeper water to use them all!! Thank you John!!

[@mburke1211]

Thanks for sharing your design insights on these baits. I enjoyed it.

[@richshackelford5793]

Great video John. Awesome baits

[@kellysatterfield5384]

Great video with outstanding detail on the application for each crankbait. Thank you very much for the video.

[@rickwalt8767]

Good stuff John. Love your videos, keep them coming. Good luck and stay safe.

[@jasonwalden5001]

Absolutely the best bait on the market. SPRO the only way to go. Nasty shad all year

[@davehorn1422]

Best crankbaits I have used...they make an awesome product.. great video

[@chrisfoley3320]

You are right, your baits are unlike anything out there. That 70xl has became my favorite big fish bait. I have 2 series of baits all of yours and the dt series. They both have there place. I am glad you made this video because everyone needs to know about your great designs.

[@jamesgilley5118]

Great video! My favorite Cranks year round.

[@hammerz7723]

Hey John glad you are doing well . I have been watching your vids for a while now keep up the great work good luck this season if it ever gets back to normal. Keep crankin👍🏻👍🏻

[@Shawn_Lai]

John, you make some great videos. I love how you walk thru all your various designs. Keep them coming. Cant wait to try the quiver worms I ordered!

[@JohnCrews]

Shawn Lai Thanks! I think you’ll love them. 👊🏼

[@Shawn_Lai]

John Crews What primary colors do you recommend for the cranks? Like your top 3 or 4?

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great explanation of the line up. I have caught lots of nice fish on these.

[@BrianTNovak]

Ive never been a huge crankbait guy, but early this summer I watched your video on deep crank color selection. Picked up a couple of DD70's in Citrus Shad and Cellmate colors. The Cellmate crank has been about the ONLY bait thats consistently caught me fish this summer! Getting ready to order a few more! Thanks for designing a great bait that really works!

[@WRFishing]

love these cranks !!

[@thomasrobey9851]

Fantastic video!!

[@inigomontoya6968]

These are a phenomenal, and well thought out, line of crankbaits. They've become my favorite plugs, especially, on the clear water highland reservoir lakes I live next to. The super DD has outperformed every deep driving crank I've thrown to the point it's my number one choice when probing the depths. The Little John squarebill and MD also rank at the top of my "confidence hardbait" list. They have the added benefit that when you're retrieving you can stop, give a little slack and the bait will pivot 90 degrees. A bass can't stand a bait that'll turn back on it! The whole lineup is awesome and I especially appreciate that there is a tool made for every depth and every situation. If you enjoy throwing a crankbait pick one up and try it. I can almost guarantee you'll be back to buy more. Unless, of course, I compete against you in tournaments. Then by all means keep throwing the something else. ;-)

[@JohnCrews]

Inigo Montoya Awesome! 👊🏼

[@evanmadson]

Just picked up a couple lil John’s can’t wait to hit the Minnesota open water this spring !

[@greyhunter9287]

Thank you John. This was really helpful and it was interesting seeing the process you went through, or at least part of it. Already had plans to pick up the fat baby but going to add the larger one to the list as well for the memorial day sale at TW. Hopefully Spro will be participating. Also planning on a restock then of a couple of missle baits and want to give your new quiver a shot. Hoping to see them on sale then too.... cough... cough... hint... hint... LOL! Thanks again sir!

[@timlawrence7246]

I’ll be adding 10-12 of these to my boxes soon to grind them out on the ledges this summer. Looking forward to the results

[@presleemoy9781]

Hey John, I love the videos! Just a quick question I had about this line. At what time of year or water temperature do you switch from the little john 50 to the fat john 50 or 60 to get that wider hunting action? Thanks!

[@xxcaseyxxc]

Love the fat John 60, that entire line up is killer though. 👊

[@jamesbarron1202]

Do you ever use braid on cranks around heavy cover to get horsing power and still maintain a small diameter to not impede action

[@mikeadams4605]

Watching this while waiting for UPS to deliver me some Little John's and Ned Bomb's from Tackle Warehouse

[@glenndaugherity6187]

John do your baits state on the box the depth they run with certain lines ?

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

thank you for the breakdown sir do you think that you will come out with a 1.0 square bill?

[@backyardfence8398]

What’s your thoughts on old spro prime crankbaits?

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Best crankbait made bottom line an the squarebills are sweet as well. Strike king might be close second

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

Can you break down the other spro crank bait lines? I know you didn’t design them but I’m sure you have some knowledge lol

[@JohnCrews]

Will do

[@xDx0xUxGx]

Just curious why you made them look angry?

[@svmoua24]

What about a wakebait?

[@JohnCrews]

svmoua24 Hmmmm. 🤔

[@MaxOstrovtheheadyhive]

I love me a good wakebait! I think they’re under rated and under-utilized. So many sizes, actions, profiles, etc... And they just seem to perform so well for me. Mostly a bank angler, so shallow, top water, mid-column or hybrid (like 6th Sense’s SwimCrank, for example) baits are my usual go-tos. I love wakebaits, glides, swimbaits, and small well-weighted cranks with good hunting action (among many others). Def gonna have to give some of these a try! And can’t wait to see the line-up expand!

[@jasonwalden5001]

Man. You should get that kid Kyle welcher on team missile. He's all about SPRO frogs.

[@johnhelems721]

I’m out here over the road truck driver delivering goods trying not to get the corona virus so I can buy some of these for my next fishing trip

[@JohnCrews]

john helems Thanks for keeping us going and thanks for watching!

[@johnhelems721]

John Crews your welcome suppose to go to lake toho next month hope to order some of these to try out on the hydrilla

[@pauleckert2175]

I love these baits! Also the Mike McClellan rk in spring craw. Your little John and rk helped me finish 2nd in my first tournament this past Sunday. See my pics on Instagram at bring_a_vet. Love your videos

[@stevenlumpp1333]

If you are not using these baits you are really missing it.
