Technical Specifications

The LB-4004 is a 7/16 oz Ball Head 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 4/0 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: 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 Ball Head?

The round ball head has no sharp angles to create drag — it falls naturally with minimal resistance, giving your trailer the most lifelike action possible on the descent. The subtlety specialist.

Best For / Avoid

• Best For: Clear-water points, dock corners, bluff ends, rocky structure — finesse applications targeting spotted bass.
• Avoid: Heavy flipping, deep ledge dragging, or any situation requiring power gear. Built for finesse.
• Depth Range: 5–25 feet
• Prime Seasons: Spring and fall on clear lakes; summer in shaded dock areas; winter on deep bluff ends.

Technique

10-12 lb fluorocarbon on spinning gear. Target dock corners and rocky points. Allow a natural fall on semi-slack line and feel for the subtle tap of a spotted bass inhaling the bait.

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

3" Keitech Swing Impact, YUM Pulse Swimbait, or a 4" finesse worm. Ball heads at 5/16 oz reward restraint — a smaller, slower trailer maximizes strikes from spotted bass in clear water.

Pro Tip: magic craw blue + Ball Head

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 the hook bend for a tight, compact finesse profile. Clear-water spotted bass respond better to a restrained skirt than a full, bushy one. One clean cut with sharp scissors across all strands.
