Thread: Long Line ball head jigs vs Road Runners.

I am not no expert though both methods will works. I am liken the road runners a lot better. I will do the double jig method put the regular jig at the top and used roadrunner on the bottom. Seem like the roadrunner will out produce the regular jig.

I'm no expert by any means, but I've almost always use the "minnow" head on my longlining set up.Figured it was a little more aerodynamic in shape than the round head. CK have you done any depth experiments with the same jig on mono vs the braid? I was thinking the braid would float and wouldn't get as deep as the mono,but I've been wrong many many times

Sam,
you are not wrong on braid , but if you get the braid that has the same or real close to the dia. of 6lb mono you can get real close to the same depths as mono !!! now I will throw my Monkey wrench into the equation I use nothing but round aspirin head jigs 1/8 most all the time even in 10 ft of water pulling at .09 to 1.2 mph !!!!the round aspirin head goes a little deeper then the regular round heads !!!6lb hi-vis vicious panfish line !!!

Use both all the time and they both run close enough to the same depths to not worry about it.

Ronnie,
you use monofilament right 6 lb ??? CK was saying he seeing a difference in depth between the braid and mono !!!

I am sorry I meant if roadrunners run the same depth with same line. I just used braid 10 pound 2 diameter. I switched back to mono with roadrunners with little testing not much different.

what test pound mono ???

Yes Joe I use 6lb mono, CK I see no big difference in the two head styles with the line I have used. 4,6 and 10lb lines. Have not used braid with jigs.
