Anybody had any success on these picked up a few on sale for 2 bucks at dicks one in 1/2 ounce and one in 3/8 lost the 1/2 ounce on the first cast due to getting hung up on a laydown anyone else have this problem?

They're OK jigs. Not the greatest, but they will still catch fish.

Phew....that's a long sentence.  I haven't fished those jigs specifically but jigs do get hung up fairly easily in cover.  I wouldn't hold that against the jig.

hahha could have used a few commas or a period somewhere in there... lol 

i fish jigs quite a bit though it just seems they dont come through what other jigs will.

Lol, I was just giving you a hard time.  Some head designs seem better at coming through cover than others.  They all get hung up though.

I try and bend the weed gaurd down the to the hook so its almost touching it.  This will help it come thru cover better without getting hung up.  I try and buy models that already have the weedguard close to the hook outta the box.

Your problem isn't the Gripper jig and you shouldn't blame the jig by name unless there is a design flaw.

There is some skill involved learning how to work a jig through heavy cover. Your tackle, type of rod/ reel and line and type of trailer all play a roll.
