Overview

The Spro Little John DD "Deep Diving" Crankbaits take the winning Little John Crankbait formula into the dark depths. Spro and elite bass pro John Crews designed the Little John DD to dive down to an amazing 20 ft with ease. The Little John DD has a bill that is pointed slightly downward, allowing it bounce off cover without losing depth and track straight along the bottom without kicking out wildly. A unique Tungsten weight transfer system and aerodynamic streamline design allows the angler to launch the Little John DD an incredible distance and creates an ideal balance in the water. The Spro Little John DD Crankbaits are available in an array of proven fish catching colors and come standard with sticky, sharp Gamakatsu hooks.

"I designed the DD John to be the best deep diving crank bait ever created!" - John Crews, Bassmaster Elite Tour Pro.

Comments: The DD 70 is absolutely one of the best crankbaits ever built. It continues to catch tournament winning bass for me year after year. I wish that John Crews would offer the DD 60 in all the same colors as the 70. And the little John's. Maybe he keeps those for himself.

From: Butch: West Virginia 12/1/22

Comments: Is it cold? This is your best deep crank option. Is it warm? This is also your best deep crank option. Is your body of water heavily pressured? Yep, this is your best deep crank option. This crank has no peers. IMO this is by far the best deep crank on the market, period. Thanks SPRO for an absolutely top notch product.

From: Unknown: 10/14/22

Comments: This crank bait has a low frequency rattle more or a thud. It has something soft in it to give a gentle noise. I believe in a pressured lake it gives notice without spooking the fish. I fish it around half its depth of what it's design for. Use the heaviest line you can get away with to fish that 8-12 foot depth. And invest in a plug knocker. I can't remember the last one I lost. A good crank.

From: Greg: Gadsden, AL 7/14/22

Comments: I honestly have no idea how this crankbait gets so little love compared to a 6xd or DD22. It's better than both by a mile. I think its the flat sides but this thing HUNTS when grinding over shell bars and even in the dead of winter gets joint busting strikes. They hit this thing hard and often. When you pause, it will slowly float up while doing a 180 turn, snap the reel handle and it will spin around and usually gets obliterated at that point. Pulls through the water very easily, much easier than the Strike Kings or 6th Senses. I can fish it all day and not feel like I deep cranked all day. The rings and hooks are top notch but I still swap out with #2 EWG's. It also seemingly never gets hung up. I've got a particular spot of tree tops in 18ft of water that I pull this through all the time without getting hung. On 12lb pound flouro and a decent cast you hit 20ft no problem. Love this bait.

From: Unknown: Lake Seminole, FL 1/26/22

Comments: bad idea for spro to discontinue the 1oz dd70. smaller profile and much deeper. I can't get near as deep on the 3/4oz. wont buy again.

From: 7/6/21

Comments: I've got a couple of these that are from previous seasons and one that just arrived. Like most Spro crankbaits, the DD 70 is very well designed and really good at enticing strikes. The one that came today surprised me in how well it is painted, though. Most of my Spro crankbaits make me think they beat rugs in one end of their spray booth. They can have glitter from another color pattern and what looks to be pocket lint embedded in their finish. Detail colors are often stickers or moderately over-sprayed across the background colors. This new one in "Spooky Shad" is very cleanly painted, though. The soft tungsten weight transfer system is a simple design that really works.

From: KC: Oregon 12/16/20

Comments: Having a deep diving crankbait with flat sides and a relatively narrow lip is a game changer for cold water. This bait has been a killer for me on deep wintering largemouth and smallmouth on the Mississippi River. Love the color selection, but Clear Chartreuse has to be my favorite of all time!

From: Cade: Winona, MN 11/4/19

Comments: There absolutely no comparison. This bait out performs any deep crank I've ever thrown. Crazy as it may seem, I fish this bait in depths from 6ft, all the way to 25ft...  it has won me more money this year already, than the past two years combined. I dont know if the profile or the subtle knock is the key but it flat out produces. It rarely hangs on anything. Even with me upsizing and upgrading the hooks. I wish they came with ewg hooks. If someone says they cant catch em on this bait, the fish are non existent on that body of water  

From: ROOKIE: TEXAS 6/5/19

Comments: 90% of my crank is Spro.  This is my favorite DD crankbait, I'm still catching 'em on pressure lake due something differ from any other bait out there but I totally agree with MIKE, CA.  1/3 my Spro having trouble running straight.  Even tuning it, it'll only last a handful of cast.  This only happen on the Little John DD only and the rest of Spro is $ thou.

From: Shimano: Cal Delta 3/26/17

Comments: well I was getting tired of losing $16-18 cranks (yes I use a retriever) so I found this alternative in the Little John DD in spooky shad. The bait has a flat sided design and the hooks and swivels are top notch. One thing unique about this bait is the pitch of the knocker. It's deeper in sound than most cranks due to the rubber coating around it and I found it to be deadly on cold clear lakes. HOWEVER THESE BAITS have a huge inconsistency with running straight. After tuning them they do not run the sAme as the ones that come straight.  After hitting rocks they go back to running to the side. When you get a straight one they run perfect no matter what you do to it I've spent 10 minutes trying to get one of these GOOD ones back. I hope this helps

From: Mike: CA 1/9/15

Comments: these baits don't come tuned. if you tune it right on a long cast light line you can reach 19-20 ft max

From: Paul: Anderson, SC 12/31/14

Comments: Best for castability! Dives hard and gets the job done when you want to hit 15+ ft. 

From: Val: La Crosse, WI

Comments: I can say on lake guntersville if your not chunking this on the ledges your missing out ! It sure fires up the school and you get 2 bass on at the same time..

From: Jim: Guntersville AL

Comments: Love these Cranks. they need more colors, especially a craw color

From: Tom: lansing Michigan

Comments: my favorite crankbait by far! Easily gets to 20 feet. Casts a mile. Runs true immediatly after deflection. Cellmate is the deal but have caught fish to 6 lbs on all colors. In Pennsylvania a 6 is a pig. A must buy!

From: James: The Nok, PA

Comments: Great stock hooks. Catches fish for sure. I cannot get bait to touch down to 20' on a cast but it will troll that deep. I would say that 8-13 foot is a good casting depth range to fish this bait with 12# line. Gets down very quickly on a slow steady retrieve. This lure will be around for a while.

From: Nathan: Pasco, WA

Comments: It's a good crank , but TW says it's 1oz and the package says 3/4 oz .

From: JF: NY

Comments: 20 ft. No problem? Using 10 lb. Seagar flr. I worked to hit 12 feet. Took me half a cast to hit bottom. Back to drawing board.

From: David: TX

Comments: Used Chart/Blue and Nasty shad on KY lake for past several months with great success.  Truely gets down to 20 ft depth with less effort than using the DD22, Strike King XD or Fat Free Shad. Chart/Blue worked well in sunny days and Nasty shad excelled when cloudy. Personally, I am not a fan of throwing huge, deep diving crankbaits. But the Spro is easier to wind, and really catches large fish (> 5lbs) off when you deflect it off the shell beds on KY lake in 16-20' of water. highly recommend.

From: Eric: Clarksville, TN

Comments: great crankbait. it really gets down deep and catches fish. they have great action, super hooks, excellent castability, and are very durable. i have a tendancy, though, not to throw this bait unless money's on the line. when you throw crankbaits, you can't be afraid to get them hung up. that's where the bass live. if i spend a day cranking, it doesn't take much effort to lose 3 or 4 crankbaits a day. it makes my stomach turn a little less to lose a dd22 or fat free shad as apposed to these little $11 gems.

From: Dan: WV

Comments: Great deep diving crank.  I have the rootbeer chartreuse color and have been hammering bass with it.  Deflects off cover better than any other crank I've got right now.

From: Mike: Jackson, MO

Comments: Awesome bait, just recently won a tournament on it with 13 lbs and second place was 8.  This bait gets it done, casts like a rock, runs at least 20 feet deep on a good cast, and also it is a lot easier to reel than other deep diving crankbaits.  Two best colors seem to be Cell Mate, Rootbeer Chartreuse, and Clear Chartreuse

From: Jake: Greer, SC

Comments: Awsome bait. Good job Spro!

From: Taylor: Georgia

Comments: this bait not only runs true out of the box, you can fish the little john DD all day without getting wore out

From: Frank: Baltimore, MD 

Comments: Very often when fishing other deep divers I just can't get the bait in that 16-19ft range. The Lil John DD runs like the Cadillac of crankbaits and when paired with my Powell 745CB-glass and Abu Winch this lure earns a check everytime. Approved by Captain Hookset himself. Spooky Shad is all you need.
