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

The Blakemore Road Runner Head Pro Series 1/16 oz jig is a compact, versatile option for crappie anglers targeting shallow structure and clear water. Built around a larger size #2 Bleeding Bait® hook—notably upsized from the standard size 4 found on comparable lighter jigs—this underspin delivers the gold-colored willow blade action crappie respond to, while the heavier hook provides solid hookup geometry for consistent presentations. The white body offers high visibility in low-light conditions and pairs well with live bait or soft plastics for both spawning-season structure fishing and year-round panfish work.

At 1/16 oz, this jig excels in shallow flats, brush, and laydowns where a slow fall triggers strikes. The gold willow blade creates flash and vibration that calls crappie from a distance, particularly effective when you're covering water methodically rather than fishing a single tight hole. The four-pack gives you enough to work through a day without constant tie-on changes or losing a good producer to a snag.

Whether you're new to jig fishing or a seasoned crappie tournament angler, the Road Runner Head Pro Series delivers the durability and consistent action that make Blakemore a trusted name in panfish tackle. The combination of the upsized hook, proven blade design, and neutral white color makes this a reliable choice when crappie are actively feeding in shallower, clearer water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the 1/16 oz and heavier Road Runner jigs?

The 1/16 oz is designed for shallower water and slower presentations, with a larger #2 hook for improved strength and hook geometry compared to standard panfish jigs. Heavier versions (like the 1/8 oz, which uses a size #1 hook) work better in deeper water or swifter current where you need faster descent.

Is this jig good for live bait and soft plastics?

Yes. The size #2 hook is well-suited to both live minnows and small soft-plastic bodies, making it versatile for different crappie presentations and water conditions.

When should I use a gold willow blade over other colors?

The gold blade excels in clear, shallow water where natural light penetrates well, providing flash and vibration that draws strikes from actively feeding crappie. It's also effective in low-light conditions early and late in the day.
