The SPRO Little John family has made quite a mark among crankbait fishermen and they are hoping their new ultra deep diving SPRO Little John Super DD 90 becomes another staple in their lineup. Because this fishing around home has bene so off this year, I only had one good day of crankbait fishing on Kentucky Lake this year, so my review of this crankbait is somewhat limited. But nonetheless, I learned a lot about it in a day of chunking it around on some pretty deep ledges.
It’s definitely not your average deep diving crankbait, weighing 1 1/2 ounces, and even though it says it’s a 3 1/2 inch crankbait, that doesn’t include a 2 inch lip. So it’s really a 5 1/2 inch lure with good weight. I have been getting some serious distance on this crankbait with 12-pound Seaguar InvizX fluorocarbon and the Lew’s 7-foot, 11-inch Mark Rose Ledge Mag Heavy Crankbait rod and a Lew’s Custom Speed Spool MSB reel in 6.8:1 gear ratio.
