When SPRO released the original RkCrawler crankbait, I had an opportunity to test it on some highland reservoirs and it was one of the most impressive crankbaits I had ever tried. The only downside, however, was that the 9 to 14-foot depth range it covered didn’t really fit my home lakes and my shallower fishing style. Thankfully, its little brother, the SPRO RkCrawler MD 55 has arrived and it is going to be a big player throughout the country. It’s designed to specifically target the 4 to 8-foot depth range, so I’ve had a lot of time to test it throughout the past several months.
In simple terms, I’m going to order a lot more of them. I’ll take you through the most noteworthy characteristics of this high-end crankbait.
