Technical Specifications

The LB-2900 is a 1/4 oz Football Stand-Up jig head painted in Black (Pro-Tec #05) 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 2/0 black nickel hook and a light 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: Black — Pro-Tec #05

Standard Black with a high-gloss cured finish — the sharpest possible silhouette against any sky condition or water color. Fish it after cold fronts, at night, and in dark-stained water where natural colors disappear. Black forces a reaction when nothing else gets bit.

Why the Football Stand-Up Head?

The stand-up football shape keeps your hook at a 45-degree defensive angle on the bottom — exactly how a crawfish positions itself when threatened. When you stop the retrieve the jig does not just sit flat: it stands, presenting the hook upward for a clean, efficient hookset while the wide head rocks back and forth with the bottom current.

Best For / Avoid

• Best For: Gravel humps, main lake points, ledges, chunk rock bottom, offshore hard structure.
• Avoid: Thick grass, heavy timber, or soft mud — the wide head catches debris and loses its signature wobble in soft bottoms.
• Depth Range: 10–40+ feet
• Prime Seasons: Peak effectiveness summer and winter on deep structure; year-round on hard-bottom main lake structure.

Technique

Drag slowly on a semi-tight line with a heavy action rod and 15-17 lb fluorocarbon. When you feel the head wobble, you have bottom contact. Stop on the wobble and let neutral fish commit.

Weedguard: Light — 18-Strand Black

Maximum hook exposure with just enough protection for light cover. Ideal for dock skipping and open-water presentations where hook-up ratio is the priority — hair-trigger hooksets.

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: Black + Football Stand-Up

Night fishing: Switch to this head at dusk on main lake points. A black football head dragged at 15-25 feet on a tight line is one of the most consistent nighttime ledge patterns on Alabama and Georgia impoundments. Keep the rod still — the wobble does the work.

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.
