Blakemore Road Runner Heads 1/16oz Bulk Black 10ct
Blakemore Road Runner Heads in 1/16oz size are compact jig heads purpose-built for crappie fishing. Whether you're spider rigging from the dock, slow-trolling structure, or working live bait around brush piles, these heads deliver the flash and vibration that trigger crappie strikes. The 10-count bulk pack gives you a ready supply without breaking the bank—practical gear for anglers who fish crappie consistently and need reliable heads that match their preferred techniques and bait presentations.
Each head features a nickel-plated brass Indiana blade that cuts through the water with distinctive flash and vibration. The blade design works in tandem with live bait, creating subtle but effective stimulus in low-light or stained water where crappie hunt. The sharp, sticky hooks are engineered for solid hooksets on hard-mouthed crappie—faster penetration means fewer lost fish on the fight. Black finish rounds out the package with a natural profile that works year-round in most freshwater conditions.
The 1/16oz weight class sits in the sweet spot for light-line crappie work: heavy enough to cast and control in mild current or wind, light enough to allow natural live-bait movement and slow, deliberate presentations. This size pairs well with standard spinning gear and light to medium crappie rods, and it's forgiving in shallower water or around heavy cover where oversized jigs can spook fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these heads good for spider rigging live crappie bait?
Yes. The 1/16oz weight and blade action are designed for spider rigging and live-bait presentations. The Indiana blade provides vibration and flash while keeping the presentation light and natural.
What's the difference between these Road Runner Heads and plain jig heads?
The nickel-over-brass Indiana blade distinguishes Road Runner Heads from bare jig heads. The blade adds flash, vibration, and sound that trigger more strikes, especially in low-visibility water or during slower presentations with live bait.
Can I use 1/16oz heads for trolling?
Yes. The heads are balanced for both spider rigging and trolling techniques. In trolling, the light weight works well in shallow to moderate depths and allows natural bait movement.
Do these work in all seasons?
The black finish is versatile and effective year-round in freshwater crappie habitat. The light 1/16oz weight works best in moderate current and shallower presentations; heavier conditions may call for a larger size.
