    One of my pet peeves with RR's because I like black headed jigs.
    Good things come to those who bait.

    Make em yourself they're cheaper. Or click on the Blakemore logo at the top of the screen and order direct.

    Grizzlyjig has Kentucky lake trolling jigs. #KLT-B Black is the item #. They have i/16 1/8 and 1/4 oz. available. 5 for $2.69 or 50 for $24.95. These are just like roadrunners. I have ordered them several times and will orger more. Good luck

    Let me add one thing, if you buy them painted you should coat them with Sally Henson's Hard as Nail clear nail polish to help them keep from chipping. It will help make the paint last longer. Of course don't get it on the swivel.

    Also what size do you want? I do tie Roadrunners so if you ever want some hand tied ones you can PM me.

    Just an FYI for you.

    Are they real Roadrunners? If not be very careful as Blakemore has the Trademark for that design and if they should ever decide to come after people selling pony heads it could be very bad for you. I spoke with the guy that use to make the old Stump Jumpers for Bass Pro and he lost everything over that. After that Blakemore made Bass Pro's Stump Jumpers, but don't know about the new design, but the old one cost that guy dearly.

    It is legal to make them for personal use though.

    I was in a local sporting goods store and they had molds to pour Road runners. It was the first time I've ever seen one

    What makes you so special? That you can make them and sale them as Roadrunners. If Blakemore has the Trademark and you are making them and you are selling them as Roadrunners can't they come after you to?

    Before this gets out of hand like it did before, Skip doesn't pour them he gets them straight from Blakemore, if he changes so much as a blade he has to put that on the tag.

    There used to be a warning in the DO-It catalouge although it's not on the Web Site
