I've seen Roadrunners mentioned on here alot, and not being familiar with them, I just looked them up. funky looking for sure, but someone give me the lowdown on them. I might be wanting to pick a bunch up.

I just picked up a bunch at Gander Mt. in Tonawanda as my local little guy didn't have them. I've heard guys mention drifting and slow trolling with them. Used them at Chautauqua Sunday (trolling) and caught quite a few perch - mostly dinks - and a white bass. Couldn't find the crappies. Will be up next week to try them out and will post.

Jimmy Houston says there is no wrong way to fish the roadrunners aslong as you fish them SLOW!

In my experience using roadrunners are a great way to locate fish........all species included. I have my best luck drifting for walleyes with roadrunners "bouncing bottom". When not drifting I also have had luck casting and working.........slooooooowly. Any bump on the descent after hitting water......set the hook. I would bet half the time (after the first twitch) after reaching bottom I get most hits. Remember slooooowly. Good luck....FYI my favorite color is white....tipped with a minnow!

Used to use them alot in the Deleware Raritan canal in NJ. And they will catch anything swimming for sure. You can get them in alot of different sizes as well. But like everyone has been saying" slooooooooooooooow" is the ticket. Chartruece and white my favorites. Ridg
