Technical Specifications

The LB-2401 is a 1/2 oz Arky jig head painted in Pro Tec Root Beer 068 (Pro-Tec #68) 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: Pro Tec Root Beer 068 — Pro-Tec #68

Root Beer Flake bridges the gap between crawfish brown and bluegill amber. The golden-brown finish with subtle flake mimics a late-summer crawfish or crayfish-colored bream. Consistent producer on sandy-bottom lakes and river impoundments throughout the South.

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: Pro Tec Root Beer 068 + Arky

Heavy cover hookset: Use a Palomar knot tied directly to the eye — no snap swivels. A clean, direct connection maximizes sensitivity through dense cover and delivers full power transfer on the hookset. With 24-strand heavy guard you can set the hook with authority.

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.
