I have a tourney on Saturday and I was told we will be fishing with little johns I don’t have any but will purchase some tomorrow. Can someone please give me some how-to videos\articles and your 2 cents on using this bait. I know I will be able to fish it but I am hoping I can get some advice before I go out. Every bit helps so don’t hold anything back.

The Spro Little John?

Yeah…cast it out…bang it into rocks or wood…catch fish.  That simple.  You might need a few different colors though.  And…there is a possibility that lure will not work at all.

Ya the SPRO little john. I picked some up in the spring craw and red orange. They are working around here right now.

Ok..so you kind of answered your own question there.  Not sure what you needed for info. 

I would stick to dark colors as you have already bought, and maybe something in a shad type color also.  Those two should be all you need…if that is what they are wanting.  I mean that by..if they are wanting a faster moving bait.

What do you mean I answered my own question? I was asking for how-to videos\articles and your 2 cents on using this bait.
Just trying to learn as much about it as I can.

you already got the craw colors, my two favorite colors are smoky shad and chartreuse rootbeer, i like to fish them around grass, just so that it’s ticking the tops of the grass, as for the setup, i fish them on a 6.3:1 revo sx, and a skeet reese crankbait rod, lined with 30lb. powerpro… the little john is a really great bait once you learn how to use them so learn them good!!!!!!!

If you want to find articles or videos on something…try Google

I gave you advice after your first post..then you said you have xx colors and they are working for you.  What advice do you need after that???

Dude all I was asking was if anyone had any articles/videos they knew about. And if they did to post them. It was really simple. I also said that I knew I would be able to fish it well and knew what colors to get. Yea I searched Google and looked in other places after I posted this and after the tourney. The reason I posted this was because I DIDN’T HAVE TIME before the tourney to search for this bait. All I was trying to do was educate myself as well as possible about this bait. That is what I do for every lure I ever fished with.
Was that ok I mean that was what I thought a forum was for right???? Thanks for your help.
