Does anyone have a source or know where I can get my hands on pro series road runners in 1/16th oz with a Colorado blade instead of the willow leaf blade? I'm talkin bout the ones with the #2 hook instead of the small #4 hook in case someone doesn't know what I'm talkin about. Thanks guys.
All I can find is hammered willow blades in bronze or gold whatever color its called.
Yep, me too.Quote:

That's actually what I have done lately. It's not hard to do, it's just a convenience thing, plus I'll have a bunch of roadrunner heads with no blades lying around. I'm just trying to see if there is another option out there. I'm not having any trouble catching fish with the smaller hooks on the 1/16 oz heads, but I would really like to have a little more hook exposure, especially when I want to use larger plastics.Quote:

I troll RRs a lot. What depth / speed are seeing with those?
I'm talking about counting the jig down when I'm casting and retrieving it mainly. I haven't long lined with them enough to know exactly where they run.Quote:

That's good to know. I know of the crankbait depth chart but wasn't sure of one for RRs.Quote:
