Blakemore Road Runner Turbo Tail 1/8 Red/Chartreuse

The Blakemore Road Runner Turbo Tail 1/8 Red/Chartreuse is a compact crappie spinner designed to trigger bites from panfish in shallow cover and open water. This underspinner delivers the fluttering action crappies love, with a red and chartreuse color combo that works in both clear and stained water. The 1/8-ounce weight lets you fish it slow around docks, brush, and timber without sinking too fast—ideal for springtime spawning activity or fall feeding periods when crappies bunch up in predictable spots.

Road Runner spinners have earned their reputation as reliable producers because they work without finesse. Cast, retrieve, and let the blade do the talking. The multi-angled tail ripples with a natural flutter that mimics small baitfish, and the solid body construction holds up to repeated casts and occasional snags better than thin-walled alternatives. This isn't a finesse bait; it's a workhorse lure that catches crappies consistently across shallow lakes, ponds, and creek channels.

Whether you're new to crappie fishing or you're restocking your tacklebox before the season opener, the Road Runner Turbo Tail fills the gap between jigs and larger spinnerbaits. The red/chartreuse pattern is equally at home in gin-clear water and low-visibility conditions. These come in a twin-pack, so you've got a backup when one snags or gets lost in the reeds.
