Quick take
A heavy-cover swim jig with an extra-strong Gamakatsu hook, heavy weedguard and silicone skirt, designed to punch through thick grass and wood for largemouth bass.
The 3/8 oz Hack Attack Heavy Cover Swim Jig in green pumpkin craw is the middle weight of Strike King's three-size line, and the size Bassmaster Elite Series pro Greg Hackney typically fishes. It carries a Gamakatsu Siwash hook designed exclusively for Strike King, a heavy weedguard and a Perfect Skirt for lifelike action. At 0.375 oz it sits between the 1/4 oz and 1/2 oz sizes, with more mass than the lighter jig for working grass and wood. It is built for fishing the heaviest shallow cover.
Best for

- Winching large bass out of heavy cover

Skip if

- You prefer finesse presentations in light cover
Strengths
- Gamakatsu Siwash hook is nearly impossible to bend or break
- Heavy weedguard prevents snagging in grass and branches
- Silicone skirt mimics natural forage movement
Trade-offs
- Heavy design requires heavier rod and line for control

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
