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

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.

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.
no luck at all with them!! gonna try them trolling though in the spring...
I have had good luck with them...As already mentioned fishum slowwww. I have us them year around but my favorite is under a weighted bobber.
One of my biggest crappie hit a roadrunner......Electric chicken..put a crappie thunder on it and you cant go wrong ..............slow is the ticket.............Drives'em crazy.......
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.
