Bass Prove They Will Strike a Road Runner Lure at Night
Bass will eat a Road Runner after dark — I just proved it again.
I was out night fishing with ultralight baitcasting gear: a Shimano Curado BFS-XG matched to a Shakespeare Ugly Stik, casting a Blakemore Road Runner jig tipped with a Northland Mimic Minnow. The water was quiet, the banks were dark, and then a solid bass decided the steady thump of that Road Runner was too much to ignore.
There’s something special about connecting with a bass when you can barely see the lure. The Road Runner’s vibration and the Mimic Minnow body create just enough action to trigger strikes even in low light. This ultralight setup handled the fight perfectly and made the whole night feel alive.
If you’ve been wondering whether simple jigs still work after sunset, the answer is yes. Keep it steady, cover water, and trust the Road Runner.
