How to Rig Them:

• Soft Plastic Trailer: Add a craw, creature bait, or chunk trailer to bulk up the profile and create lifelike action.
• Flipping Setup: Use it on a Texas rig-style line for punching through heavy cover.
• Carolina Rig: Pair it with a leader to present a more subtle bottom-bouncing action.
• Weightless (for Skipping): Go without extra weight and let the jig’s natural balance work for those precise, under-dock skips.

The Arky Head Jig mimics crawfish scuttling along the bottom, bluegill darting in cover, or small baitfish depending on how it’s fished. Its skirt flares naturally on the fall or when hopped, mimicking the movement of prey species that bass love to ambush.

How to Fish It:

• Flipping and Pitching: Toss it into heavy cover like brush piles, grass mats, or laydowns. Let it sink, then give it a couple of hops to provoke a strike.
• Dragging: Slowly drag it along the bottom to imitate a crawfish or bluegill moving through rocks and sand.
• Hopping: Use quick, sharp rod lifts to make the skirt pulse and claws (from a trailer) flutter, imitating a fleeing crawfish.
• Skipping: The arky head design makes it ideal for skipping under docks, overhangs, or tight cover where big bass hide.
• Swimming: Reel it steadily through mid-water or over grass flats to mimic a baitfish on the move.
