Museum Archive: Arkie Lures Weedless Arkie Bass Jig, 1/4oz Black / Blue fishing #11353

Sporting a classic Black / Blue silicone skirt, this 1/4 oz (7 g) jig reflects the heritage of Arkie Lures, a brand famously associated with the 1993 Oklahoma state record bass weighing 14.65 lbs. This specific model, identified by product code 11353, features the signature weedless brush guard design that helped pioneer modern flipping and pitching techniques in heavy cover. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is mounted on its original red carding, which proudly displays the American flag and the "Original JIG" branding. The packaging notes its storied history in tournaments like the Bassmaster Classic, emphasizing the professional-grade construction. As an unused specimen, the black-painted head and the blue-accented skirt retain their factory-fresh appearance. Manufactured in Springdale, AR, this piece of American tackle history remains a testament to the simple, effective designs that dominated the early professional bass circuits.
