Arky 1/4oz Jig Head - (LB-2103)

Technical Specifications

The LB-2103 is a 1/4 oz Arky jig head painted in magic craw blue (Pro-Tec #101) 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 3/0 black nickel hook and a light clear 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: magic craw blue — Pro-Tec #101

A specialty color engineered for the clear, blue-tinted water of highland reservoirs and tailraces. The blue-tinted brown finish mimics a crawfish moving through bluestone and granite habitat. A spotted bass color — Alabama-strain fish on clear impoundments crush it.

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: Light — 18-Strand Clear

The lightest and least visible guard in the lineup. Virtually disappears in clear water. Ideal for finesse presentations where gear visibility is a factor.

Trailer Synergy

2.5-3" finesse craw or small beaver-style bait. Light trailers preserve the skip-friendly profile and natural horizontal fall of this head.

Pro Tip: magic craw blue + Arky

Spotted bass finesse: On clear Highland reservoirs, downsize the skirt to 75% of standard length when using this head. Magic Craw Blue reads as a smaller, cleaner crawfish — a precise match for pressure-shy spotted bass in 15-25 feet.

Skirt Trimming Tip

Trim to 2-2.25 inches for a finesse profile matching this lighter head. A full-length skirt on a 1/4 oz head slows the fall rate and can feel unnatural. Short and tight is the right call for light heads in finesse applications.
