Hey guys so earlier today I was posting about having trouble with the Rapala Scatter Rap. I either get one that does not swim the right way, or they are to fragile and break easily. Anyways tonight I was reading about the Baby Fat Johns cranks from Spro. I saw that they are designed to hunt around on the retrieve as well. I am just wondering if anyone has used both of them how the hunting action of the Baby Fat compares to that of the Scatter Rap? I really love the action of a Scatter Rap just not the durability or the quality control in them.

They work just like a regular Little Jon, at least mine do. They're a really good bait though. Never had a problem with the Scatter Raps breaking, pretty much the only wood Rapala other than the Shad Rap I can say that about.

I havent actually used the Little Jons before, do they hunt sideways as well? I know that the write up on the fat john on *** says that they hunt around which is why I was hoping it was similar to the scatter rap movement. I broke two in the course of a weekend so I can for sure say I have had problems with them breaking haha. One of them was my fault, but the other one was just from normal use.

No, they just wiggle back to the boat like any other crankbait. I've heard if you bend the line tie down on the Fat Jon 50 that will make them hunt but I don't really want to bend up the line tie on a $12 crankbait that's already catching fish. 

Well my Baby Fat John cranks do hunt a little, not as much as the Scatter Rap baits but they don't just run straight back to the boat either. In my case I've had to find just the right speed and since I have they will do their thing and "hunt" from side to side, moderately. Also I should mention I have to reel them on a straight retrieve in order to get them to hunt, no stop and go or rod tip twitches.
