I just wonder how many of you out there do use the road runners consistently to catch your share of crappie on a regular basis..

Care to share your story and technique?

I recently put together a batch for a friend, so these aren't the sale items nor promotion... just something to share among our fellow TFFers..

Those look good!

I never have used them fro crappie but "flip" jigs when the bite is slow. I get more action from a moving jig vs. the normal jig technique.

And after getting beat twice in a row by trolling, I'm going back to 'em.
It would be nice to have better hooks in 'em.
The originals have soft metal and will not sharpen up.
Sickle hook RR's would be a crappie catching machine.

Not here. I have tried road runners without success so I guess it's just a confidence thing for me. On the other hand I can't catch that well as it is so maybe it's just me. LOL!

For years it's all I used. I quit because of the size of the hook and poor quality. If CV is making them, they will sell.

Been using them the last few years for spider-rigging jigs and jigs tipped w/ minnows. I have some w/ sickle hooks and I really like the added gap for minnows.
