Technical Specifications

The LB-2300 is a 1/2 oz Arky jig head painted in Black W/ Large Blue Flake (Pro-Tec #82) and assembled in the USA exclusively for LunkrBytes by a small American craftsman. Every head is poured, painted with a chip-resistant Pro-Tec finish, fitted with a Mustad 5/0 black nickel hook and a heavy black fiber weedguard, then inspected before packaging. Slide any replacement bass jig skirt straight onto the collar — or hand-tie your own skirt directly to the collar for a more secure hold than a standard banded skirt.

Color: Black W/ Large Blue Flake — Pro-Tec #82

Black body with blue flake — the night-fishing standard and go-to post-cold-front pattern. Black provides maximum silhouette; blue flake catches any available light and gives neutral fish a subtle shimmer to track and strike.

Why the Arky Head?

The flat, angled head design creates a horizontal, side-sliding fall that triggers reaction strikes from bass positioned at any depth in cover. The same head skips easily under docks and swims like a swim jig — the most versatile style in the lineup.

Best For / Avoid

• Best For: Dock skipping, pitching to brush, flipping spawning pockets, swimming along bluff walls.
• Avoid: Open deep water where a football wobble or natural ball-head fall is more effective. The arky shines in contact with cover.
• Depth Range: 2–20 feet
• Prime Seasons: Spring for spawning pockets; summer for dock shade and deep brush; fall for staging fish on wood.

Technique

Master the skip cast for docks. On pitches, keep slack out and watch the line on the fall — most strikes happen on the descent. The flat arky head also swims effectively at a slow, steady retrieve along the bottom.

Weedguard: Heavy — 24-Strand Black

Maximum-density guard for the thickest cover on the lake. Dense mats, buried laydowns, heavy timber — built for 1/2 oz and heavier in serious flipping situations.

Trailer Synergy

4" chunk, beaver bait, or full-size craw (Zoom Ultrahog, Strike King Rage Lobster). Heavy cover demands a larger profile to give big fish a reason to commit.

Pro Tip: Black W/ Large Blue Flake + Arky

Cold-front recovery: This color outperforms natural tones in the 48 hours following a major weather system. Fish it at 6 inches per minute and be ready for soft, barely-detectable pickups from inactive fish holding tight to cover.

Skirt Trimming Tip

Leave full length on this build. Black-and-blue skirts move the most water at full length, creating vibration that slow-moving post-frontal fish detect before they see the bait. Do not trim post-cold-front presentations.
