Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed 1/16 11ct Red

The Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed 1/16 jighead is a compact crappie jig designed to pair with soft plastics for shallow-water panfish fishing. At 1/16 ounce, this ultralight head works in weedy cover, near brush, and around structure where crappie suspend—ideal for both spring and fall patterns. The barbed collar holds your soft plastic securely in place during the cast and retrieve, cutting down on lost baits and keeping your rig rigged longer between adjustments.

The Bleeding Bait Hook mimics the trigger that draws crappie to easy meals, while the Indiana blade adds flash and vibration to draw fish from a distance. The removable collar barb is a practical touch: if you're downsizing your plastic for finicky fish or changing baits mid-session, you can strip the barb off in seconds without swapping jigheads. This pack of 11 gives you enough heads to work through a tournament day, a weekend trip, or stock your boat box for next season.

Whether you're fishing a creek arm in early spring or working the deep side of a shell bed in summer, the Road Runner Head's combination of flash, scent potential, and secure plastic retention makes it a no-nonsense choice for crappie hunters who want to spend more time catching and less time retying.
