Rock'N Runner
"The Blakemore Rock’N Runner takes chatterbait fishing to a whole new level. "
It has the traditional “RoadRunner” head and the standard chatterbait blade but they have added a small willow spin blade on the bottom of the bait. It also comes standard with a “Bleeding Bait Hook”. I received the 3/8 ounce version in Chartreuse color.
The bait ran true right out of the package and the small willow on the bottom definitely added more flash to the bait. This bait is like your traditional chatterbait on steroids. I fished this bait on a 6’6” baitcasting rod with 17lb McCoy Mean Green copolymer line.
This is deadly bait for fishing around laydowns, pads, grass and cattails. I would also recommend fishing this bait using braided line due to the fact this bait really shines around heavy cover.
My ratings of the Rock'n Runner is as follows:
Quality: 9
Performance: 10
Durability: 9
Lure Design: 10
Overall Rating: 9.5
TTI Blakemore says: “The Deadliest Road Runner in 50 years! Tie-on at snap, Cast near structure, Retrieve, HANG ON! Because it’s a Road Runner® at heart, it out-fishes ordinary baits.” LEARN MORE
| Suspending Jerk Baits |
When fishing suspending jerk baits in the spring, most baits require some tuning before they will work effectively. Most suspending baits will actually float to the surface when taken out of the package. A simple solution to this problem is the application of "suspend dots or strips". They can be order through most bass fishing equipment catalogs and are not expensive. Simply apply the stick-on led strips or dots until your bait suspends at the desired depth range. I would recommend testing these baits in a pool (if available) or a bathtub to ensure proper placement of the led. You may have to play around with the amount of led and placement to get the bait to suspend and fish properly, but it is definitely worth taking the time out to do so. It can really make a big difference when fishing for suspending bass |
