Technical Specifications

The LB-2311 is a 1/2 oz Arky jig head painted in Fire Craw (Pro-Tec #118) 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 medium 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: Fire Craw — Pro-Tec #118

Fire Craw is a warm-water trigger color for when the bite is wide open. The bright craw pattern with orange and red accents replicates a crawfish fleeing across a gravel flat. On high-sun, aggressive days, Fire Craw adds the visual pop that closes the deal.

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: Medium — 21-Strand Black

The workhorse configuration — reliable snag resistance in brush, laydowns, and scattered rock while maintaining a high hook-up ratio. Right choice for 90% of bass fishing 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: Fire Craw + Arky

Retrieve cadence: On a jig head this size, retrieve speed sets the attitude of the bait. A slow drag keeps the head on the bottom with the hook pointing up. A lift-and-drop creates a hopping crawfish that triggers aggressive fish. Match your speed to what the fish are telling you.

Skirt Trimming Tip

Clear water: trim to 80% of original length for a compact, natural profile. Stained water: leave full length for maximum water movement and vibration. Always use sharp scissors in one clean motion across all strands — never pull individual strands.
