Overview
Offering a unique finesse presentation, the Arkie U-Bolt Jig Head is more than just your standard ball head jig. It comes equipped with a u-shaped wire loop or U-Bolt, which loosely attaches the hook to the jig head. This allows the hook and your favorite finesse worm to move with incredible freedom, generating additional action and providing a more natural presentation. If you use a naturally buoyant bait, the U-Bolt configuration allows the bait to float up the entire time you are working it along the bottom - not just when at rest. Available in multiple sizes, the Arkie U-Bolt Jig Head adds another dimension to finesse fishing.

Almost perfect for what it isI have experimented with these quite a bit and am quite impressed, especially for the price. I’ll start with the negative(s) first.
I don’t like the wire section that the hook connects to, the elongated wire allows the hook to move up and stay offset, I believe this would be fixed with shortening the wire so the hook self rights easier.
I haven’t had any issues with breaking the wire despite catching probably over a hundred fish on them and also snagging plenty of times. The hook bends out before the wire breaks.
Speaking of the hook, I believe it is well matched to the head and it does well at allowing the bait to move freely. I use mine with either the Grandebass Airtail or the Gene Larew tattletail. Both work great as shakeyhead baits and combined with this jighead the whole thing simply catches bass year round.

Comments: Have used for several years now. Never have had one break and have caught some big bass on it. They will rust so u have to watch for that. A rusted one will break. Otherwise they r great.

Comments: Great finesse fishing hooks. can catch big bass on light to medium lines. If you want to use 30+ lb braid get shark hooks!

Comments: Junk if you fish tournaments ! Weak hooks and u heads break. They work great until you start catching big fish !
From: James 2/12/17
Comments: The description is right on! These jig heads are perfect for finesse fishing, as the worm moves naturally; have caught really big bass on this jig with a trick worm.

Comments: A friend of mine recommended these. I used the 1/8th ounce for fishing very shallow wood for largemouth. They performed great and caught around 15 on the first day using them. I would highly recommend.

Comments: Although the price may seem right on these baits, the design (unless they recently changed it) sucks. The wire doesn't connect back to itself inside the lead head. This allows the wire with the hook on it to separate from the lead leaving the angler with just a ball of lead with no hook and no fish.
