The SPRO Little John Type R MD 50 is a medium diving crankbait designed for targeting predatory fish at moderate depths. Developed by professional angler John Crews of the B.A.S.S. Elite Series, this compact hard lure combines a distinctive body profile with an energetic swimming action. Measuring 50 mm and weighing 14 g, it offers excellent casting performance and allows anglers to explore productive areas further from the bank. With a diving depth of approximately 3 m, it is particularly suitable for targeting perch and other predators holding in the middle layers of the water column.
A key feature of the Little John Type R MD 50 is its loud internal rattle, which produces noticeable sound vibrations during retrieval to attract the attention of nearby predators. The specially shaped diving lip helps the lure reach its intended depth, while the lively wobbling action encourages aggressive strikes. Anglers can use a steady retrieve or introduce changes in speed to match fish activity. This crankbait is especially effective when exploring underwater slopes, drop-offs and areas where schools of baitfish gather.
The lure is equipped with sharp Gamakatsu NSB Round Bend size #5 treble hooks, designed to provide reliable hook penetration and secure fish during the fight. Its compact 50 mm body, 14 g weight and distinctive swimming action make the SPRO Little John Type R MD 50 an excellent choice for spinning and casting anglers seeking an effective medium diving crankbait. Combining an attention-grabbing rattle, dependable hook configuration and a diving depth of up to 3 m, this lure allows anglers to target predatory fish holding beyond the shallow shoreline zone.
