    Default Roadrunner under a float??


    Anybody tried this? Any luck?? Just wondered if the blade will help at all when your fishing slower under a float like with a bobby garland baby shad. Thanks

    Don't know if it will "help", but I doubt it will "hurt". I've seen people vertical jig a Roadrunner & catch fish !! (& they were only moving the bait a couple of inches up/down)

    IMHO ... if you're using a Roadrunner, and you're not retrieving it fast enough to make the blade spin, then you're really just using a high priced "jig" But, that's just me.

    I've used em like that in the spillways in N. Sippi, casting em out and jigging em back with the float. Works like a regular jig that way. The rush of the current may have turned the blades, but I'm not sure. It did help on occasion to use the pony heads tho.

    Use them for everything. Under the float blade may not turn but it will be flipping back and forth a little with the flash. Jigging or under float I prefer the willow leaf blade.

    Yep....the blade does not have to turn....any movement at all and the blade will flash and act as an attractor. They are great baits.

    I agree with the blade not having to spin but just flicker and make a flash.

    Why not just use a jig?

    The blade adds a flash mix that with a bleeding hook and all I can say is hold on. The blades take very little movement to start a feeding reaction we slow troll them all the time under a cork with good sucess.
