Make no mistake the pony head/horse head "Aka"Roadrunner is one of the best lure's ever designed.Our 2 cents.We have and make both pony and The herring head mold's would not do with out either mold.The pony head can be tied with feather's,hair ect or fish with plastic's. The herring head is very balanced lure which we like over the pony head.It also can be tied on our use with plastic's.We like the herring head because the blade "spinner" is farther away from the body of the bait.Has more vibration from the blade. The Herring head is more balanced than the pony head. Hope this helps.
