Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed 1/16 11ct White

The Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed 1/16 oz is a proven crappie jig head designed to pair with soft plastic baits for consistent panfish success. Built with a bleeding bait hook that triggers strikes and an Indiana blade that adds flash and vibration to your presentation, this jig head delivers the subtle action that crappie can't ignore. The collar barb securely holds your soft plastic in place during the cast and fight, while remaining simple enough to remove if you want to downsize to smaller plastics. At 1/16 ounce, it's light enough for finesse presentations in shallow cover yet heavy enough to reach deeper spots when conditions call for it. This pack of 11 comes in white, a classic color that works across a range of water conditions and light levels.

Whether you're working shallow brush, timber, or open water, the Road Runner Head gives you a compact, efficient platform to target crappie throughout the season. The combination of the blade's gentle flutter and the realistic soft plastic profile makes for a natural-looking meal that both black crappie and white crappie find hard to pass up. Pair it with your favorite 2- to 3-inch plastics and adjust your retrieve to match the mood of the fish—slow and methodical on sluggish days, or with a bit more pace when crappie are actively feeding.

Blakemore has built a solid reputation in the panfish world, and the Road Runner Head is a staple in countless tackle boxes for good reason. Reliable, effective, and versatile, it's a workhorse jig head that rewards consistent presentations with steady crappie catches.
