Blakemore Road Runner Turbo Tail 1/8 Chartreuse 12/cd

The Blakemore Road Runner Turbo Tail is a compact 1/8-ounce crappie spinner designed for anglers targeting both white and black crappie in shallow cover, grass, and around structure. Built with a solid body that holds up through repeated casts and snags, this underspin lure cuts through the learning curve many anglers face with tube jigs—the multi-angled tail creates lifelike rippling action on the fall and during retrieval without requiring the finesse of a hand-tied presentation. The chartreuse color is a proven high-visibility choice in stained water and low-light conditions, making it effective during early morning, late evening, and overcast days when crappie feed aggressively.

Road Runner spinners have earned their reputation on public waters and private ponds across the country, particularly among anglers who want a lure they can cast, let work naturally, and repeat without constant adjustment. The 1/8-ounce weight suits shallow flats, grass edges, and dock pilings—depths where crappie hunt year-round. Whether you're fishing vertical presentations near cover or casting parallel to shoreline timber, the Turbo Tail's action triggers strikes from inactive fish.

This package contains a dozen lures, giving you the quantity needed to fish a full day or season without constant inventory concerns. Chartreuse chartreuse is especially popular in early spring and fall when water clarity drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to fish Road Runner Turbo Tails for crappie?

These lures work equally well on short casts around dock pilings, brush, and grass edges or on longer casts across shallow flats. Many anglers use a slow, steady retrieve or vertical jigging motion near structure. The lure's action is fairly forgiving, so even a simple cast-and-retrieve approach triggers bites.

Why choose 1/8 ounce for crappie?

The 1/8-ounce weight keeps the lure in the shallow zones where crappie hunt most of the year—typically 3 to 12 feet deep in lakes, ponds, and river backwaters. It casts easily on light tackle and falls slowly enough to draw strikes from fish in a feeding mood.

When is chartreuse the right color choice?

Chartreuse shines in stained water, during low-light periods (early morning, sunset, cloudy days), and in spring and fall when water clarity decreases. It's also effective in ponds and lakes with heavy algae or tannin staining.

How many lures come in each package?

Each package contains 12 Road Runner Turbo Tails, giving you backups for snags, lost lures, and the ability to rotate colors throughout a day of fishing.
