Blakemore Road Runner Maribou 1/16ozBlack/Black 2pk

The Blakemore Road Runner Marabou jig is a compact, versatile panfish lure that combines a painted jig head, marabou body, and inline spinner blade in one efficient package. At 1/16 oz, this is a go-to choice for crappie anglers working shallow cover, grass lines, and dock pilings—places where a light touch and subtle vibration trigger bites. The spinner blade generates flash and vibration as you work the jig, while the fuzzy marabou body provides a natural, lifelike appearance that crappie find hard to resist. This two-pack gives you a backup and lets you experiment with different presentations or cover water more efficiently.

Road Runner jigs have earned their place in tackle boxes across the country, particularly among anglers targeting white crappie and black crappie. The 1/16 oz weight is ideal for vertical jigging in deeper summer holes and for casting near structure where heavier presentations might hang up or spook fish. Whether you're fishing from a boat, dock, or bank, these jigs work equally well on a simple spinning rig or as part of a two-pole crappie setup.

The combination of flash and movement means you can cover water quickly or work a single piece of cover methodically. In clear water, the vibration gets fish to bite from a distance; in stained water, the flash cuts through and draws attention. Pair these with live minnows, soft plastics, or fish them naked—the versatility is part of why Road Runner jigs remain a reliable choice for panfish hunters who know what works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish will the Road Runner Marabou jig catch?

These jigs are highly effective for crappie—both white and black—as well as other panfish and small bass. The vibration and flash appeal to species that respond to light-tackle presentations in weeds, cover, and structure.

Is the 1/16 oz size right for my crappie fishing?

The 1/16 oz weight is well-suited for crappie in shallow to moderate depths, vertical jigging, and situations where you need a subtle, finesse approach. If you're fishing deeper water or need to cast farther, you may want to consider heavier versions, but this size excels in typical crappie habitat.

What does the spinner blade do?

The inline spinner blade rotates as you jig or retrieve, creating vibration and flash that attracts fish and triggers bites. It makes the lure more active and easier to detect by fish, even in stained water or low-light conditions.

How many jigs come in this package?

This is a two-pack, giving you two Road Runner Marabou jigs in the 1/16 oz, black/black configuration.
