Blakemore Road Runner Head Pro Series 1/16 4ct Chartreuse

The Blakemore Road Runner Head Pro Series 1/16 oz is a compact, chartreuse-colored underspin jig built for targeting crappie in shallow cover and tight spaces. At just 1/16 oz, this lightweight head excels in clear water or weedy areas where a subtler presentation keeps fish from spooking. The gold-colored willow blade delivers flash and vibration that triggers bites from panfish, especially when you're working shallow structure or fishing around brush.

What sets the Pro Series apart is attention to detail in the hook. This 1/16 oz size features a larger #2 Bleeding Bait® hook—a step up from the standard #4—giving you better hook-to-body proportion and improved hookset penetration on crappie that short-strike these small jigs. The Bleeding Bait® design adds scent dispersion, drawing fish in and encouraging them to hold on longer. Each pack contains four heads, so you'll have backups rigged and ready when you're covering water or switching presentations.

Chartreuse is a go-to color in low-light conditions, stained water, and early morning or late evening sessions when visibility matters. Pair these heads with your favorite soft plastics—tubes, minnow bodies, or grubs—and you're ready to work shallow to mid-depth crappie holes. Whether you're a panfish specialist or a bass angler looking to cover more water with finesse, the Road Runner Head Pro Series delivers the blade action and hook quality you need without the heft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What soft plastics work best with the Road Runner Head Pro Series?

These underspin jig heads are designed to be rigged with soft-plastic bodies such as small tubes, minnow-shaped baits, or grubs. The #2 hook and 1/16 oz weight balance well with panfish-sized plastics, roughly 1.5 to 2.5 inches long.

When should I use a 1/16 oz jig head for crappie?

The 1/16 oz weight is ideal for shallow water, clear conditions, and tight cover where a lighter presentation reduces spooking. It's especially effective in weedy areas and around shallow brush where crappie suspend. In deeper or faster water, a heavier head (like the 1/8 oz) may be more practical.

What's the difference between the 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz Pro Series heads?

The 1/16 oz features a #2 Bleeding Bait® hook, while the 1/8 oz comes with a #1 hook. The larger hook on the 1/16 oz ensures better proportion and hookset performance despite the lighter weight.

Does the Bleeding Bait® hook really make a difference?

The Bleeding Bait® design releases scent into the water, which can help trigger strikes and encourage fish to hold on longer. Combined with the gold willow blade's vibration and flash, it's designed to give crappie multiple reasons to commit to the bite.
