Reason I use braid for the main line and mono for the leader, save my weight

Goin that slow, does the blade spin or just flop here and there?

John, when your running a single jig below a weight, how long is your mono leader?

2.5 to 3 foot long, same as a crank pushing rig

Perfect. Thank you!

Very productive especially on lakes that get a thermocline. I like to do it with 1 oz weights. That way I don't feel like I'm lifting bricks out of the water. Road runner/spinner type jigs work great for this. I try to get as big a profile as a crankbait on the bottom. Tie them up and wrap them on pool noodles like I do double minnow rigs.

Road runners work great. When I used to push that's what I started with. Road runner head and a minnow. Then eventually I realized the minnow was what they wanted so I just started tying on 2 plain hooks and a weight. Road runners got expensive. But they do work. I still use a road runner with a curly tail grub and a spin cast pole. Cast around structure and the weed lines during spawn.

When you power troll roadrunners, do you run them with curly tails? Do you tip them with minnow?

I usually use some type of curl tail jig, mostly seem to use bobby garland strollers but i have a bunch of other regular curl tail jigs. I usually let the fish tell me to tip with a minnow or not. I start out with about half tipped with a minnow and if they want the minnow i will tip em all.
