Spro Fat Crank 20

MallenManson · 02-14-10, 02:34 PM

Anybody used these before? I picked some up at Gander for $2.95 a pop. Figured it was a safe gamble for the price.
I've noticed that BPS, Cabela's and Gander don't even have them listed on their web sites.
3/8 oz
2"
0-2' depth
I really like the look of em.

Here's a spot I found selling em. And as Monkey's Law would have it, they're on sale with colors that Gander didn't have.

I picked up a few of the bluegill colored ones. They look very realistic. I'm thinking they'll be great lures.

Never Tried these but I deff would have picked those up for that price.
I'm a big fan of the square bill spro lil jon.
Its the bait in my lil picture thing. When you get a chance to try the new bait let me know what you think about them.

They certainly look like they'll be awesome. Unfortunately, there were no bluegill, baby bass or perch, so I grabbed firetiger, crawfish and silver/black.
The Monkey keeps slappin my monitor when I'm at buyfishingstuff.com, and screechin at me

Gonna be about 2 1/2 months, but I'll do that

I had never seen them before either so I bought all of them that Gander had up here, 17 total. They look like a shallower version of a Manns Baby 1 Minus. They also had 30s, but they looked too big for me.

I was thinking the exact same thing on the Manns, although the Spro looks better crafted.
Those 30s looked like gag gifts. They'd certainly gag the fish I catch

Here's some actual pics.
Chris, I can't wait to bounce these off the rocks on Platte Lake. I have a feeling the smallies are gonna be fist fightin' to get at these!

Bender · 02-15-10, 06:15 PM

I'm curious about these. There is no listing on Spro's site about them and where you can find them for sale they are $5.50-8.50 each. I hope they work, they seem like a neat little lure.

The smallies up there on Platte should tear that up especially in May-June when they are up shallow around the spawn.

nmanley · 02-15-10, 08:26 PM

Those are beautiful. Hope mine look as good when they arrive. haha Yep, ordered about 10 of them.

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is definitely a real attention to detail on these things. I'm thinkin the sculpted body is gonna cause a lot of disturbance as it comes through the water.

I just picked up a few sunday at gander mountain when I picked up my premier reels. Fished them in a pond next door and they seem to swim great. The pond doesn't have fish tho so I don't know how well they catch fish.

Sweet! I can't wait to try em out

screwballl · 02-23-10, 02:43 PM

wow $6.95 minimum shipping per order... which means $$$ for the lures, thats only good if you plan to buy at least 10 or more lures.... I plan to get a few without shipping on my next trip to the BPS...

As far as I've been able to tell, BPS isn't carrying them yet.
Also, even if they are, and they're not on sale, you'd be saving money buying them online

Saw then at Gander the other day, but I was on a mission. I'll have to go back and check them out again.

I really hope they have some on sale still, and in different colors once I get back but with their salesa going on right now, I highly doubt it

Were you darting from one aisle to another, glancing out of the corners of your eyes at everybody, humming the theme from "Mission: Impossible?"
