Okay, I've got a special little hook on the Ned head that I'm using. It's got a smaller gap than the regular head. That SlimZ really does good at slow speed.

I'm thinking about using them on the original Road Runner head. No barb.

Good call, I didn't even think about them. That's like a finesse version of the fish head spin. 

Do you have quality swivels so the blade turns at slow speed?

Lol, it wil provide some extra flash and a little vibration. I do not expect the same level of quality in a 40 cent jighead vs the $3.00 jighead. I actually wish that the good folks at Blakemore would let me design a crappie series for them that had more appropriate hook sizes through out the weight ranges 1/32 oz, 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz, and 1/4 oz. I'm still waiting on that phone call though.

I hear he's looking for another winter project......

You need the SlimZ in greasy prawn, Im just saying....

Those are great little lures for crappie, they are a bit larger, and obviously good durability.  One problem is that the tail doesnt kick at nearly as slow a speed as a swing impact.....ive yet to find a swimbait that kicks like a swing impact even at painfully slow speeds.  If they are willing to hit a faster moving bait, then these are def good lures.

I've seen them kick at very slow speed & had good luck with them.

your definition of slow maybe different than mine.
