Price from 10.24 € View products

Shallow Running Crankbait with Wide Wobbling Action for Pike, Perch and Zander Fishing

The SPRO Fat John is a shallow running crankbait designed for anglers targeting predatory fish around underwater structures and cover.

The series includes two sizes: Fat John 50, measuring 50 mm and weighing 10 g, and Fat John 60, measuring 60 mm and weighing 18 g.

Fat John

The SPRO Fat John is a shallow running crankbait designed for anglers targeting predatory fish around underwater structures and cover. Its compact, bulky body with flattened sides and distinctive square bill creates an energetic swimming action that attracts the attention of pike, perch and zander. The series includes two sizes: Fat John 50, measuring 50 mm and weighing 10 g, and Fat John 60, measuring 60 mm and weighing 18 g. Both models are suitable for exploring shallow fishing areas, particularly around submerged branches, rocks and other potential predator hiding spots.


The defining feature of the Fat John is its wide square bill, which produces a strong wobbling action and helps the lure deflect off underwater obstacles. During retrieval, the crankbait moves energetically from side to side, occasionally changing direction to imitate a disoriented baitfish. This characteristic movement can trigger reaction strikes from predators holding close to cover. The Fat John 50 reaches depths of approximately 0.9 m, while the larger Fat John 60 can dive to around 1.2 m, making both versions effective for shallow water presentations.


SPRO Fat John crankbaits are equipped with sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks designed to provide reliable hook penetration during aggressive strikes. The 50 mm version features size #5 treble hooks, while the 60 mm model uses size #3 hooks. Anglers can fish these lures with a steady retrieve or vary their speed to create additional changes in swimming action. Combining a compact profile, powerful wobbling movement and obstacle deflection capabilities, the SPRO Fat John is an excellent choice for spinning and casting anglers looking for an effective shallow water crankbait.
