Technical Specifications

The LB-2208 is a 3/8 oz Arky jig head painted in Pro Tec Pink Pearl 320 (Pro-Tec #20) 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 4/0 black nickel hook and a medium 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: Pro Tec Pink Pearl 320 — Pro-Tec #20

Pink pearl imitates shad fry and juvenile baitfish that flood the shallows post-spawn. On highland reservoirs with spotted bass populations, pink pearl has near-unfair effectiveness in June and early July. Also a proven dock-shade color for pressured largemouth.

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 Clear

Go-to for swim jig applications — invisible guard provides snag resistance without interfering with the bait's swimming action or appearance.

Trailer Synergy

3-3.5" chunk or craw (Zoom Chunk, NetBait Paca Craw). For pitching presentations, a craw with active claws adds the triggering movement on a slack line fall.

Pro Tip: Pro Tec Pink Pearl 320 + 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.
