The SPRO Little John MD 50 Crankbait, designed by professional angler John Crews, expands the legendary Little John lineup with a medium-diving profile that reaches the ideal 7–9 foot depth range. Featuring the same proven body shape as the original Little John, the MD 50 incorporates a longer, downward-angled plastic diving bill that helps the bait quickly reach the strike zone while reducing snags by deflecting off branches and cover.

Built for exceptional casting distance and precise tracking, the Little John MD 50 utilizes a tungsten weight transfer system that shifts weight during the cast for increased distance and then balances the lure for a natural swimming action. This innovative design allows the crankbait to run true through open water and cover without rolling or tracking to one side.

Equipped with ultra-sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks and available in a wide range of proven fish-catching colors, the Little John MD 50 delivers the reliability, action, and performance serious bass anglers expect. Whether you're targeting bass around timber, rock, points, or submerged structure, this crankbait is designed to trigger aggressive reaction strikes.
