I ran out of Looney Jigs last week on the pier. A nice spanish mack ate my last one and then jaws ate him. I heard Terry is no longer making them. I haven't had any luck finding jigs similar to them. Anybody else found anything that resembles the tried and true Looney Jig?
No sure haven't

I like to think mine are better , between a Looney (spearhead) and the hex head jig

J&M use to sell a hex head , not sure what they have now been over a year for me down there
Guess I should make some if there is a need..... even with a half a pier still Spanish and jaws
I'd love to try your jigs, Ironman. When you coming down? If I could only take one lure to the pier it would be a 1/2 oz. white spearhead jig. I think I remember Pier#r saying he has caught over 20 species on Looney jigs. I bought a Tsunami "Buster Red Tail Jig" and cut the red tail off. It worked pretty good. Big spanish macks liked it too. I caught one and the next cast I got cut off and lost it.
The reason I started making them..... plus aquiriing 1000 lbs of lead, more for deep drop weights when I was going off shore ..... then the gaffs, then the jigs..... call me cheap , I didn't like losing a jig on the first castQuote:

I still have a half-bag of white/white and half-bag of red/white from Ironman a few years back. It's the last lure I ever wanted to run out of. Also snagged (see what I did there) one of his gaffs while I was at it.
"Would buy again" but everything still works just fine. :)
