Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed 1/8 11ct Chartreuse

The Blakemore Road Runner Head Barbed is a proven crappie lure head that pairs a bleeding bait hook with an Indiana blade to trigger strikes from aggressive panfish. Available in chartreuse with a 1/8 oz weight, this 11-count pack gives you the tools to work shallow structure, weed edges, and brush piles where crappie congregate. The barbed collar design holds soft plastics securely in place, so your bait stays rigged and won't spin loose on repeated casts.

Whether you're working vertical drops near docks, casting around timber, or pitching into spawning areas, the Road Runner Head's blade and hook combination create vibration and flash that crappie can't ignore. The chartreuse color cuts through stained water and low-light conditions—ideal for early morning and late afternoon sessions when crappie feed hardest.

The barb itself is designed to be removable, letting you downsize to thinner plastics or adjust your presentation without swapping heads. That flexibility means one pack of Road Runner Heads works across multiple soft plastic baits and presentations throughout the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Road Runner Heads for crappie fishing year-round?

Yes. Road Runner Heads work throughout the crappie season for structure fishing, from spring spawning areas through fall transitions. The 1/8 oz weight and blade design are versatile enough for shallow docks, brush, and timber presentations whenever crappie are active.

What soft plastics work best with the barbed collar?

The barbed collar securely holds standard crappie-sized soft plastics. The barb is removable, so if you want to use thinner or smaller plastics, you can easily take it off for a custom fit.

Is chartreuse the right color for all water conditions?

Chartreuse is particularly effective in stained or murky water and low-light conditions—morning and evening feeding periods. For clearer water or bright midday conditions, you may want to experiment with other colors, but chartreuse is a proven standby for visibility.

How many lures are in one pack?

Each pack contains 11 Road Runner Heads, giving you enough for a full day of fishing and extras for when you get hung up or change presentations.
