Yes, as of the first quarter of 2026, 247 Lures (247 Fishing, LLC) has assumed full production and sales of the legendary Al Gag’s Whip-It Fish, Whip-It Eels, and proprietary jighead designs. We are continuing to work with the large network of retail stores and distributors that Al Gag has built, but these products are also available here on our website. Al Gag's Lures designed jigheads are available in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can get exactly the jighead weight and design you need for each and every fishing situation! This product page is Long Launch Jigheads 1/2oz size - two per pack. There are other product listing for the other styles of jigheads Long Launch jigheads have a slightly different weight placement to really get that distance when the fish are out of reach for most anglers. Comes in a 1/2oz size, designed to match the 3" and 4" Whip-It Fish nicely. Al Gag's Long Launch Jig is a specialized jighead designed specifically for maximizing casting distance while maintaining a small, realistic profile. The Long Launch jighead comes in one size (at this time) 1/2 oz, but its physical head dimensions are closer to a standard 1/4 oz head, with more of the weight hidden inside the soft plastic bait. This compact, aerodynamic design reduces air resistance for longer casts. Other Styles of Jigheads include...
