Roadrunners for Crappies.

[jbird68]

Do Roadrunner lures really work for Crappie? I have tried them and have had no luck.

[rmfishin]

Yeah, They do work but like Jimmie says there is no wrong way to fish them as long as you fish them slow. Some times you have to tip them. I like to use crappie candy or waxies sometime minnows

They work great for me, especially in the spring when the fish are scattered along the bare banks. I usualluy don't use them much when fishing brush piles because of the cost. You can lose a few.

Each spring BPS runs a sale on them.. $.79 ea. I usually buy 12 dozen of the maribou.

They Are A Must Have In Spring, And Do Really Well In The Summer Months. Good Luck !!

Never had much luck with them.catch a few walley in the late spring,hardly any crappie, but I keep a few in the bag just incase thats what they want.

Whatever bait you are comfortable with will work for you, provided you use the right technique.

RoadRunner is a big hit around my boat. It's the only "go to" lure I have that's manufactured. I normally use them while working open water very slow. They are great to just dangle over the side of the boat, 2 per rod, and about 4-6 rods working different depths. A great locator lure for sure! I'll use a homespun jig in the brushpiles, and have been known to carry a few shiners to boot.
