Right you are, buddy !! I can't tell you how many Crappie I've caught trolling a 1/16oz marabou Road Runner, one rod in hand and easing along the banks. Sometimes I've done it specifically knowing that fish are scattered/roaming along the banks, and other times just doing it when moving between spots that are too close to warrant firing up the big motor. It's mostly been during the Spring pre-spawn period & up into the early Summer time frame, but I know people that longline with Road Runners more than during those times & do quite well. I'm sure there are also some that Push Road Runners, and I've even thought about it myself & just never got away from Pushing jigs/plastics ... but, there will come a day !!
