    Default Arkie Jigs New Tube Bait


    Recently I was asked to fish some of Arkie's stuff, had used them from time to time as far as jig heads and such but to be able to say "I got this on Arkie" not so much. Told Mitch that as soon as I could get some time on the water with their stuff and could honestly say Arkie made a difference then I would give em a little pump.
    Well it's time for the pump, I recently (less than 2 weeks) started long lining. Tried several things but what seemed to work best was the new Pro Model 2.5XL tubes paired with a pony head. I only had 2 different colors on hand but after a decent finish in the FJ last Saturday I immediately order all the colors available. The baits also have salt in them, being an ole green carp guy you know that aint nuttin but a good thing and between the jig head and the tube the bait is almost 3 inches long giving you a big profile bait.
    Arkie has hit a home run here for sure, thanks Mitch for letting me try some of yalls stuff, look forward to working with yall for a long time.
    PS: Arkie also has it's on line of cranks, will be testing them soon.
    Here's a link and a few pics.

    Mitch gave me a couple of the orange and chartreuse a while back to try....they have been great! Cant wait to try some of the other colors, they look real good.

    Do you think they would work good for white bass or walleye? On the fence about trying some but nobody around here carries arkie stuff. I am catching them pretty good on southern pro 1.5's but I think I need a bigger profile to get some of the bigger fish. Just not sure, never tried any arkie lures.

    If you are looking for a bigger profile then they will work, pretty tuff too.

    Same here, I've got a couple left that were given to me at camp and I'm looking for some more cause I did really well back on Beaver last weekend with them. They outfished my Jokers that I've been using.

    There are 2 different ways to buy them on the website, think the link I posted is for a small pack. They are also offered in a 100 count, that's the way I went, nothing chaps me more than running out of what the fesh are eating!!!! If not mistaken the 100 is $16.99, not bad at all. Here's the link to the bulk packs.
