SPRO BAITS

SPRO LITTLE JOHN MD 50 - NASTY SHAD

Deadly mid-depth crankbait action in a bite-sized profile

The SPRO Little John MD 50 in Nasty Shad is a mid-depth crankbait designed by Bassmaster Elite Series pro John Crews for tournament-level performance. With its tight wobble and ability to dive quickly to 7–9 feet, this crankbait excels in targeting bass suspended in the mid-column. The unique Nasty Shad color pattern is ideal for mimicking shad and other baitfish in stained or clear water, making it a deadly choice year-round.


Featuring a soft tungsten weight transfer system, the Little John MD 50 casts long and straight—even against wind. The silent design offers a more natural presentation in pressured waters, while the durable construction and sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks ensure solid hooksets every time.

How to Fish the SPRO Little John MD 50 – Nasty Shad:

1. Target Mid-Depth Structures:

Cast near ledges, drop-offs, submerged rock piles, and brush in the 7–10 ft range. The Little John MD’s quick-diving action gets into the strike zone fast.

2. Use a Steady Retrieve:

A slow to medium steady retrieve is perfect for drawing reaction bites from neutral or pressured bass.

3. Bump Cover for Reaction Strikes:

Bounce the lure off rocks, stumps, or submerged cover to trigger aggressive strikes. The tight wobble makes it ideal for cold or post-frontal conditions.

4. Match the Hatch:

The Nasty Shad color works exceptionally well in lakes with threadfin or gizzard shad populations, especially in low-light or overcast conditions.

5. Pair with the Right Gear:

Use a medium-power crankbait rod and 10–12 lb fluorocarbon for maximum sensitivity and diving depth control.


Why Anglers Choose the SPRO Little John MD 50 – Nasty Shad:

Precision-tuned for high performance, this crankbait is a top choice for bass anglers looking to dominate mid-depth zones with a realistic, silent presentation. Whether you’re fishing clear water or targeting pressured fish, the Little John MD 50 in Nasty Shad will put more bass in your boat.
