I have used road runners for years and they catch all types of fish.
Good baits, just started using them this year and glad I did.
Might not use the actual name brand but nearly always use the design.
Yes they do.
On some days they are just about unfair. With the right body and head size and a nibble there are days they should be illegal. I use to use 1/16 oz mostly,started trying the 1/32 oz a few years ago and have caught three or four of the biggest crappie I have ever caught on them. Catch big fish of other species on them too sometimes. Redear and bluegill....
X2 on the road runners.
are you spider rigging or longlineing?Quote:

Use them to fish for bedded fish by swimming them right into the bed or fishing them as close to the bottom as I can over beds. Chartreuse skirt,purple flake body southern pro tube is one of my favorite,never throw it without a chartreuse chromaglow nibble on it. Spinner has to spin,make sure its spinning on the fall. Caught lots of big bass on them too. Lose a lot of big fish just because the hook is so small. Use different bodies and also white heads.Never know what combination may work on any given day or place.
Think it has something to do with the slower sink rate and the wake signature the blade makes. The more subtle smaller blade just works sometimes. I use unpainted ones too that I buy in bulk.They are a more narrow profile and fall even slower,but their is a difference in the way they run and I catch more on the actual roadrunner brand,but they are expensive.
Thanks.
Road runners are my favorite as they have caught me many fish
Never owned one, Guess I'll have to make a trip to the store.....
shadboy you'll be glad you bought some.
Just started liking them today. Fished muddy water today along with five other people on the docks. I caught five in thirty minutes on the road runner. The other five people caught 0.
I was using the chartreuse road runner with Bobby Garland Cajun cricket and Slab Slobber.
