Starting To Get Fed Up With Spro Cranks

Featured Replies

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a very high rate of Little John and Little John MD cranks needing to be tuned? I am ok with tuning a cheaper crank, but for the price of a Spro crank, I would think it should be ready to go out of the package. I love the action, and I have caught more fish on those cranks than any other crank I have tried, but I am about ready to start looking else where for my cranks.

If you're catching a lot of bass, I would just put up with that little inconvenience. Other than the tuning, sounds like they are working well for you.

It will pass, probably a bad lot or something, but I understand at the price...

Never had a single Spro crank that wasn't perfect out of the box.

If you want to sell I'd be interested

My DD's run fine. Never tried the other stuff.

True they are working well for me.  I understand that compared to things like Megabass or LC they really arent that expensive, but they are the most expensive cranks that I have paid full price for and not just found on sell so to me it seems like a good bit of money. It is good to hear though that other people have not encountered the same issues that I have, hopefully the next couple I get will be better then. Thanks!

Havent had any issues with mine. I use the little john MD quite a bit.

 Yup the last 12 Little Johns ive had, had to be tuned right out of the box. I catch a lot of fish on them so I will deal with it especially since tuning a crankbait is extremelly easy. But I will say I shouldnt have to tune a $11 crankbait right out of the box IMO

I haven't used the little john DD but I frequently use the shallow Fat John and little john squarebill. I've never had to tune a single one.
