Vintage Arkie Lures Arkie Bass Jig, 1/2oz Brown fishing #24415

The Arkie Bass Jig is widely recognized as the lure that revolutionized bass fishing. Developed  in the early 1970s. Head Design: Its unique flattened "Arkie Head" ensures a stand-up presentation on the bottom. This prevents the lure from rolling over and keeps the hook in the optimal position for a strike. Weedless Performance: It was one of the first jigs to perfect the fiber brush guard, allowing anglers to fish in thick brush and heavy vegetation without snagging. Technique: This lure laid the groundwork for flipping and pitching techniques, specifically designed for short-range, high-precision casting into dense cover. Legacy: The design proved so effective that "Arkie-style" has become a standard industry term used by tackle manufacturers globally.
