Technical Specifications

The LB-2702 is a 3/8 oz Brush jig head painted in barlows green pumpkin orange flake #085 (Barlow's #085) 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 medium green pumpkin 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: barlows green pumpkin orange flake #085 — Barlow's #085

Green pumpkin with orange glitter is the bluegill-bite color. When bass target spawning bluegill in late spring and early summer, the orange flash replicates the belly of a male bluegill. Equally deadly as a crawfish-emerging-from-the-molt pattern during peak spawn.

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 Green Pumpkin

Blends the guard into natural vegetation and organic bottom material. Critical detail when fishing grass, pads, or lily stems.

Trailer Synergy

3" chunk or craw (Zoom Chunk Jr., Strike King Rage Craw 3"). The natural claws-open posture of a craw trailer complements the defensive stand of a brush head at rest in timber.

Pro Tip: barlows green pumpkin orange flake #085 + Brush

Bluegill spawn timing: When bass lock onto spawning bluegill in late spring, skip this head under dock overhangs and let it fall naturally — no imparted action. The color does the work during the bluegill spawn window.

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.
