The SPRO John Crews Megalojohn 6” Swimbait is a highly innovative fishing lure designed by Elite Series Angler John Crews. It features a unique magnet harness system that enhances its performance and attraction to fish. The swimbait is constructed with an internal wire harness that connects to a SPRO split ring, barrel swivel, and a size 2 black nickel Gamakatsu treble hook. A notable feature is the SPRO Soft Bait Hook Keeper Magnet molded into the belly of the bait, which secures the hook in place without needing to bury the hook point into the plastic. This design allows for better hooksets as it reduces leverage for fish once hooked.
Design Features
The Megalojohn Swimbait is made from very soft plastic, which contributes to its hard thumping tail action. This tail design allows it to fold easily when a bass engulfs the bait, facilitating effective hooksets. The swimbait is versatile and can be utilized in various fishing scenarios, particularly excelling in open water fishing around docks and sea walls, as well as mid-water column fishing when using forward-facing sonar technology. It comes in multiple colors that are known to attract fish and includes life-like fins that quiver during movement.
Durability and Performance
Feedback from users indicates that the Megalojohn Swimbait outperforms other similar products on the market, such as the Magdraft. Users have praised its durability; one angler reported catching 12 fish on a single bait without any signs of wear or damage. The swimbait’s action has been described as excellent, with impressive tail kick and head movement.
