Technical Specifications

The LB-2803 is a 1/2 oz Brush 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 Brush Head?

The compact, streamlined brush head profile punches through dense cover that would swallow a wider head and comes back clean. Designed specifically to penetrate, not snag.

Best For / Avoid

• Best For: Punching into laydowns, dense brush piles, fallen timber, and root systems.
• Avoid: Open-water casting or ledge dragging. This is a close-quarters pitching tool — fish it within 15-20 feet.
• Depth Range: 2–15 feet
• Prime Seasons: Pre-spawn when big largemouth lock into laydowns; fall when fish stage on wood before winter.

Technique

Tight-line pitching on 17-20 lb fluorocarbon or 30-50 lb braid with a heavy action rod. Drop into the thickest available cover and hold on — most strikes are immediate upon entry.

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 or creature bait. Heavy brush requires a bulky trailer to give pressured bass a substantial target worth eating through cover.

Pro Tip: magic craw blue + Brush

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

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.
