I use both Looney jigs and a little casting creation of my own. The bubble rig works but the bubble busts and wont hold water after time. Most of the regulars have seen my chugger rig I throw with my old 6500c. Its the closest thing to a looney jig and belly strip I have found to produce Spanish. (Without using baby LY's) ;)
James how about a picture of your creation I haven't seen .....thanks in advance :headbang:
I just got a new mold and plan on pouring a few more jigs....spear head and shad head mold it will use larger hooks for the same weight jig head....a friend would use them with a gulp shrimp in Pensacola and tare up the flounder with it and with the wider gap hook the gulp shrimp leaves enough room for a good hook set
Bill, what weight do you cast on the spearheads?

the mold goes from 1/4 to 1oz....but mostly the 1/2 and 3/4 for the windier days worked great ....the one pictured is one of mine still trying to get better on the tying.... but they hold together good.
Sorry, meant to also ask what hook size.
1/0-2/0 for the ones mentioned the ones I did before i used 1/0 only .....but just order some 2/0 for the new jig, and may get some 3/0 for that one I think the spear head 1oz called for a 3/0 ....I tried to find 635 long shank hooks for the jig but haven't yet.....might save on loses with a longer shank
still playing with it....never really did it before last spring pouring anything
thanks for the link.... :headbang:

I don't care about a couple of pennies.
I would much rather give John & his crew my money than Wally-world.
Back in '95 when I first started fishing offshore, those guys gave us a lot of really good advice and didn't try to sell me shit I didn't need.
I tend remember good stuff like that for a long time........
Oh, and I've got gotcha, small diamond jigs and some white hair jigs. Just need to grab some bubbles to replenish my stock.
I do need to grab a few looney's. If any one who makes jigs will be down this weekend, I'd love to buy a few.
Look for the guy with a tan boonie hat & a goatee, pulling a red hand-truck with a wooden rod-holder!
