Elite Series veteran and 2014 Elite Series Table Rock Lake champion, Mike McClelland, teamed up with the engineers at Spro to create the new Spro "Mike McClelland" Rk Crawler 55 Crankbait. It delivers the wide-wobbling, hunting and grinding action of the classic crankbaits McClelland grew up using on lakes like Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Grand, and Beaver, and it also deflects off of cover like no other plug to trigger aggressive reaction strikes. It consistently stays on the bottom as well in the 9-14ft range, grinding and hunting in an area many crankbaits tend to miss.
Not all crankbaits are created equal when it comes to action and deflection, and the new Spro RkCrawler 55 has all the attributes you need to take advantage of a predator’s built-in instincts. It turns those reaction strikes into secure hook-ups that show up at the weigh in. Just crank the Spro "Mike McClelland" Rk Crawler 55 Crankbait down to the bottom and bounce it off everything you can. The RkCrawler 55 does the rest.
-Wide-Wobbling Hunting Action-Distinct Knocking Fish Calling Sound-Just The Right Weight & Size-#5 Gamakatsu hooks
*SPRO is undergoing a transition in hooks for this product. The Spro RkCrawler 55 may include either #5 Gamakatsu Black Nickel Treble Hooks or #5 Gamakatsu Nano Alpha Coated Treble Hooks.
Upgrade Your Treble Hooks!
Comments: "Rocked" them at Clear Lake on the Red River craw in October. I like it better than all my other baits that run at this range. Deflects and goes through rocks as if it was designed to which it was. I tried the 50 and quickly went back as it has a different wobble. This one works right outta the box but I changed out the hooks as they don't hold up well. Pleasantly surprised ...just put your head down and go fishing with these.
From: Kelly: Ojai 11/28/22
Comments: In the old days, the Bomber Fat Free Shad used to be the year-round crankbait of choice.... it really didn't shine more in one season than the other.... it just had the perfect action, buoyancy, and profile to catch fish all year. Now that honor goes to the Rkcrawler.... don't just use it during winter or you'll be missing out!
From: Alan: Adairsville GA 1/7/22
Comments: I had this bait for years but never put time into it. So today I threw it early morning and where I live it's the middle of summer. 4 casts, 4 fish. Great hard bottom bait. I was fishing 7-10 feet of water and I felt this bait digging into the bottom. Very nice crank.
From: Keith : South Africa 12/19/21
Comments: Good bait. IDK what it is to make the fish like it so other than they just make it RIGHT. I've been a Wart man for years, DT was second but this may take over my deep diving #1 spot.
From: Jamie: Unknown 3/16/21
Comments: This crank may replace my Warts as favorite mid depth crankbait; I started using it this early summer and had some awesome days with it; placed in the money in our club tourney first time i used it and thats the only bait i threw all day. Durable, runs straight and the fish love it.From: Unknown: 12/5/20
Comments: This flat out catches fish. Brown and green ones, year round. It casts well, reaches its running depth quickly, and just straight DIGS the bottom. I honestly don't know what other people are talking about in terms of durability. I have a full 3700 deep full of these and have beat the tar out of them for years and have only ever had one bull break due to user error. I put these things through the ringer every time out and I have been nothing but impressed.
From: Cody - Idaho 8/19/20
Comments:Still puttin in the work! Just ordered more, thanks for draining my account TW. Bought several of them years ago, so impressed I by more each year. I'm assuming your all decent humans so I'm tellin ya straight, these work! I always carry extra, even if I'm going mule riding.I had a spring craw from way back, beat up and hook rash, yet a bass collector of a lure. After catching several bass one day, the lip broke across the wide part. (It was just time ! ) no complaints. Put on an Ozarkcraw and after about twenty casts, same type of break. What gives? Also some rattle some don't Consistently inconsistent? I'm ordering more, I love you SPRO ROCK CRAWLER! And I don't care who knows it. Just don't break your bill or my heart and we'll live bassilly ever after.
From: Scaly Tim : Private Idaho 4/26/20
Comments: The RkCrawler 55 is a Hawg catching crankbait! The other day I caught two big largemouths, an 8 pound 5 ounce and a 6 pound 4 ounce. I was using the red crawfish color which is semi translucent. Don't worry about changing out the stock hooks. These guys come stock with Gamakatsu trebles, and they are sticky sharp. I concur with other reviewers that these lures get damaged very easily. The colored finish was scratched off in places after catching those two big bass, and I had another where a triangle shaped chip occurred in the center of the bill after pulling it over some rocks. Spro needs to make these more durable, and then they will be exceptional.From: Kenneth: McDonough, GA 2/24/20
Comments: I throw crankbaits and spinnerbaits religiously and I have never thrown a crank bait that gets hung up on the rocks more than this one! I will throw a crank bait in a downed tree in a heart beat, not these! They hang up too much! I like the bait BUT it's not a bait you drag through cover.From: Tim: Ashland City 12/29/19
Comments: Great crank bait and does catch bass at Bull Shoals and Table Rock. It is my experience that you must use this to grind off of rocks. However, I have had 3 bills break and I was not using in shallow water. I don't think anything that pisses you off more than when you have a product that works well on bass only to find out that the bills on the crank bait fail. Come on Spro you are a better company than this.
From: Grub: Saint Louis, Missouri 4/15/19
Comments: Everyone is correct. These crankbaits catch loads of fish, but they have no durability. I broke two bills off by slapping them on the water to get some slime off. SPRO needs to figure something out if they want to continue to get my money.
From: Kent - Hermann, MO
Comments: I got a few of these baits this year in an array of colors. Finally got the chance to put them to work on a couple of recent outings. A lot of people crank rip rap in early spring due to the fact it holds heat and creates a pinch point at the channel. This is a time that this baits excels due to its deflect-ability. If it does happen to get snagged just give it a pop and I didn't have any issues getting it free. Thanks Spro for all the great baits you are producing.
From: Adam: NC 3/13/18
Comments: I fished the Crawler this weekend at Mike's hometown lake, Beaver, caught a decent limit with it and caught fish every spot I stopped. Every fish was a keeper, ordering backups today
From: Richard: Rogers, AR 3/12/18
Comments: Had my first experience a few weeks ago with the Rock Crawler. Has great action, subtle vibration, really gets down there and hunts! Have had several exceptional days on Norfork and bull shoals lakes in Arkansas. Great color options as well. The ONLY thing that i have negative against them is they are about as tough as a wet paper bag..... how weak they are and how easy the bills break on them drives me crazy, especially at $11 a pop.. I've trashed half of the ones I have bought because they just aren't tough at all and won't last on these rough lakes.
From: Jake: Mountain Home, Arkansas 3/11/18
Comments: Used for the first time this weekend, awesome action and the rattle is very subtle but loud enough to get attention. Caught a decent bag while fishing a variety of cover in low 50* water. Had a 6+ inhale it. I will definitely be loading up on some more.
From: Joe: Texas 1/15/18
Comments: I am a huge fan of the rock crawler cranks. I consider myself a cranking bass angler and I always do well on cranks during the prespawn in my local small KY lake. For whatever reason the traditional cranks I always used stopped producing last spring. I tried to force the bite with my tried and true cranks but after several outings and no crankbait bass I pulled out my new rock crawler in the mudbug color and proceeded to put the smoke on them. The first time I used the rock crawler I caught over 10 bass off of one tree by bouncing it off of it's branches. I had beat that tree to death with my other cranks without a bite until I used the rock crawler. Needless to say it has been tied on since that day and it has prouduced far more than it has not. This crank has awesome action and the typical durability that Spro cranks display. Awesome crank!
From: Jim: KY 1/14/18
Comments: I was blessed to be born and raised in Michigan. Let me tell you im absolutely bonkers about smallmouths. Point in any direction and your on world class smallies..Although a drop shot and a tube is hard to beat. I've out fished my buddys countless times with this bait. It's not just a cold water killer I've stuck them all year around, but honest to God it's all you need fall and spring time. While my buddy's are dead sticking blade baits and drop shots. Im smoking this baby on a 6:8:1 gear ratio and they ain't nipping at this. There choking it down sideways past the gills. If you have anything negative to say about this bait or you hate them. Send them to me I'll take every single last one of them. My fishing photos will continue to grow.. Thank you Spro..Ps . The fire tiger in the Rockstar model is insane in dirty water!!
From: Nicolas S. Northern: Midland Mi 9/17/17
Comments: Great bait use them often I have not had too tune one yet, they just plain catch fish
From: John - Washington 9/9/17
Comments: My go to bait. I my opinion, there is not another bait better at finding fish in less than 12' of water.
From: Greg: Georgia 8/7/17
Comments: This is also my go to bait on Table Rock when I want to throw a crankbait. The key to not breaking the lip off is to fish it in it's desired depths. The bait is not build to crash through rock in 1-4 feet of water. That is what the Wart was built for. This bait preforms best in the 6-10 foot range and the water helps protect the bill from the impact on the rocks.
From: Dave: Lee's Summit 8/2/17
Comments: A must have when fishing table rock. I throw this more than the wiggle wart because it is easier to cast, has great colors, and still has that same hunting action that the wart does. largemouth, smallmouth, spots, and walleye all crush this thing.
From: Chris 5/31/17
Comments: This is becoming my favorite crankbait. I see some negative reviews here that I just don't understand. They may need some tuning from time to time, but they usually are just a quick tweak from running perfectly. It thumps hard, crawls through cover keeping great contact with the bottom, and just plain catches bass of all species.
From: Zack: WV 5/28/17
Comments: A few bad reviews? Man I just love these things. Landed a chubby little bronzeback( I'm not including size, cuz you wouldn't believe me. Hell im still not sure I believe it, but the pictures don't lie) they just do the job you Need them to do. That is cover water and get bass to open wide. If your a competitor then don't get these. If your a decent human who likes to catch Goon Fish, these will do. Get some!
From: Shizzle T: Rock crawling springs 4/25/17
Comments: Based on other reviews, I had high expectations for this bait. I bought three, and had issues with each of them. 2 were severely out of tune out of the package, and barely stayed in the water on a slow retrieve without rolling to the surface. The other one broke in half right at the lip after less than an hour. Was expecting more from a bait claiming to be an improved wiggle wart for twice the cost
From: Unknown Madison, WI 4/3/17
Comments: Bought one of these over the weekend in the green craw color. Haven't fished it yet, but after opening and initial inspection, mine does not have a "knocking" sound as suggested in the description. In fact, it barely has any kind of rattle at all. This is the only rockcrawler I own, so I don't know if I got a dud, or if the description on here is incorrect. Finish looks great and hooks look high quality, but was expecting a decently loud rattle.
From: Booman: Louisville, KY 2/6/17
Comments: Great baits! Runs better than a wiggle wart. Won many tourneys on this bait.Best crankbait around 8 to 10ft rock piles.Finding a red craw with a brighter red top is the ticket. Hard to find. Many are clear red which i havent had much luck on. If you find them hang on to them. Heard through the grapevine that that will be discountinued soon. Grabem up, they will be tough to find soon.
From: Dave: Decatur, Alabama 1/20/17
Comments: These baits are outstanding. Really gets down and hunts. Best thing about this bait is that it will back up and dislodge itself when it gets stuck in the rocks.(Not always, but a high percentage of time) I fish in the Ozarks and while this bait will not totally replace the Wiggle Wart, it is a nice alternative. Easier to cast and therefore if it's really windy, it's good to have one tied on. I always have an RC and a WW at the ready. Best color? The Mud Bug always the last to sell out . . . . big mistake. It's been my best color. Update: This bait has replaced the Wiggle Wart for me. SPRO has expanded the color options and the quality of bass I catch on this bait is very consistent. As far as durability, I have had ZERO issues. No bait holds up to abuse. I can put this bait on the bottom in 12' of water on a long cast w/10# line. This is an excellent product and ready to go, right out of the box.
From: Coach: Shell Knob, MO 1/9/17 and 2/23/22
Comments: Took these to Table Rock the second week in May. Water temp was in the mid 70's & the fish were transitioning hard. They were literally everywhere from the bank to suspended over 100ft deep water. We ended up with our best quality on the rock crawlers in 6-8 ft of water on gravel points. Several smallies over 3 & largies over 4 with a few 2lb spots mixed in. My buddy was throwing several really old wiggle warts & the spros out fished them all.
From: Gabe: Collins, MS 5/18/16
Comments: I bought a couple of these just to try something different. I fished one this Spring on a local Tennessee lake to see if the smallies would react. THESE CB's SWIM GREAT! The swimming action reminds me of the old wiggle warts. I know these lures will produce once the crawfish bite turns on. I highly recommend these crankbaits.
From: John: Knoxville, TN 3/13/16
Comments: I bought 2 of these, I have had great luck on them when nothing else was working. I have them in Phantom green and Phantom Brown. I have only thrown the Phantom Green so far. I have caught fish on several different lakes, and yesterday at Lake Erie they were chocking it, no question on if they wanted it. Fished them on rip rap and large rock walls. They seem to come through the rocks very well and the fish KILL IT!!! Very pleased with the out come.
