Technical Specifications

The LB-3301 is a 3/8 oz Poison Tail jig head painted in Chartreuse (Pro-Tec #03) 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 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: Chartreuse — Pro-Tec #03

Green chartreuse cuts through tannin-stained and muddy water where natural colors disappear. In rivers, backwaters, and post-rain conditions, chartreuse gets bit when green pumpkin and brown go undetected. Also a trigger color for active bass in overcast, windy conditions.

Why the Poison Tail Head?

Wide-gap hook accepts skirt trailers naturally while the 3D eyes add realistic detail that triggers strikes in clear, pressured water. Built for horizontal movement and built to be seen.

Best For / Avoid

• Best For: Grass edges, dock pilings, main lake channel breaks, open flats — anywhere bass are chasing baitfish horizontally.
• Avoid: Slow bottom dragging. This head is engineered for horizontal movement — keep it swimming through the strike zone.
• Depth Range: 2–12 feet
• Prime Seasons: Spring along grass edges; summer under surface schools; fall as shad move shallow.

Technique

Steady retrieve on 12-15 lb fluorocarbon with a medium-heavy 7-foot casting rod. Vary speed to find the triggering cadence. The 3D eyes and skirt kick seal the deal on the pause.

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

4-5" paddle-tail swimbait or shad-style soft plastic (Keitech Easy Shiner, Strike King Rage Swimmer 3.5"). Match the local shad profile for a fully committed bite.

Pro Tip: Chartreuse + Poison Tail

Stained water adaptation: In off-color or post-rain conditions, pair this head with a chartreuse or white skirt for a high-visibility stack. The contrast between a bright head and pulsing skirt is often the trigger that produces bites when natural tones fail.

Skirt Trimming Tip

Taper the front third of the skirt slightly shorter than the rear strands to create a gill-flare effect — longer on the outside, shorter in the center — mimicking a baitfish opening its mouth. Leave rear strands full length for maximum kick on the pause.

3D Glass Eyes

4mm red 3D glass eyes. In clear water, bass key on the eyes of prey as a strike trigger. The red eye mimics an injured or feeding baitfish and increases commitment from sight-oriented fish in pressured environments.
