This is the Only heavy cover jig I use.

 

It's a home made job that anyone can make.

siebert makes some great jigs, and also look at northstar custom baits

What kind of "cover"?  Weed or wood? It makes a huge difference in what style of jig you should use. If you are fishing wood cover you would want a jig with wider shoulders to deflect off of the cover and keep it from getting hung up, it should also have a fairly stout 60 degree hook but imho you don't need to go over board, Alot of jigs are coming out with these monster hooks in them that are usually used in salt water applications, which are great if you need to muscle a 40lb salt water fish, they are usually extreme over kill in bass fishing though, the main reason I do not like them is the amount of force needed to get a good hookset, also I tend to gravitate to the smallest hook I can get away with for the simple reason that the fish doesn't feel the hook as soon as it picks up the jig, and will hold on longer. For weed cover you want something with a inline or at most 30 degree hook and swept back weedguard so it can penetrate and glide through cover.

 

 

My personal choice for weed cover is my original swim jig or if I want to slow down a Flip and Swim, both come through weed cover good and the flip and swim can pull double duty as a flipping type jig or a swim jig and is a little more versatile. For wood cover the Knock Out or Black series with the Alien head is all you will ever need.

Hack Attack, Outkast RT Jig, Siebert Big-O, Northstar Flip and Swim are all good designs for heavy weed cover that I use.

My favorite is my Big O series. Its a fish catching machine. If you are fishig heavy grass I also ofer punch rigs and grass jigs.

This is the Only heavy cover jig I use.

I should have been more specific.  When I mentioned cover, I meant punching into heavy matted grass.  I am looking at 1 oz. jigs for punching through thick grass and weeds.  Any other help would be appreciated.

I like to throw the 1oz Hack Attack jig with a rage craw trailer.

For heavy cover of weeds grass etc, i use the 1/2 to 1 oz North Star Custom Baits Flip n Swim jig. It comes through the grass very well due to the head being more rounded.

 

For heavy cover of Timber or Brush, I use the 1/2 North Star Custom Baits black Series.

 

Color depends on water clarity. Clear I use greens Insanity, Frogger or browns, brown craw or black and brown. Dity water I use Black and Blues or the Mistake flip n swims.
