Page 14 - Crappie NOW - June 2018

Road Runner

Jimmy Houston started catching
crappie on Road Runners about the
time the Pyramids were built. Maybe
that’s an exaggeration, but the bait was
designed in 1958 making it a long-time
catcher of multiple species. Houston
says, “Fish is slowly and you can’t go
wrong.”
Ron Stallings, Export Manager and
Pro Staff Manager with TTI-Blakemore,
says, “The theory is simple. Fish are
looking up to feed. The flash of the
blade looks like the underbelly flash of
a baitfish so the crappie, or any other
species, react to it.
Stallings says the bait has caught
fish for decades because of the flash,
sound, vibration, color and the way it
moves. It’s an all-around great bait.
“My best tip is to fish is just fast
enough for the blade to move.
