A Bladed Jig Built for Heavy Cover
Bladed jigs have become a staple in every serious bass angler’s arsenal, but not all vibrating jigs are built the same. The SPRO Cover Jumper Vibrating Jig is designed to stand out in a crowded field by offering the best of both worlds—the thump and flash of a bladed jig with the cover-slipping ability of a swim jig. Built with a slender, curved head, this bait is specifically designed to navigate through grass, wood, and other forms of heavy cover, making it a prime choice when targeting bass in thick structure.
Beyond its ability to move cleanly through cover, the Cover Jumper is loaded with high-end components and thoughtful design elements to make it a serious fish-catching machine. From its hand-tied skirt to its razor-sharp 4/0 Gamakatsu Nano Alpha hook, every part of this bait is designed to entice and hook big bass.
Built for Cover and Big Bites
One of the standout features of the SPRO Cover Jumper is its curved, streamlined head, which allows it to slip through submerged vegetation and brush more efficiently than many other vibrating jigs. Where traditional bladed jigs can sometimes get bogged down in thick grass or snagged in laydowns, the Cover Jumper is designed to weave through these obstacles with ease.
At the heart of its effectiveness is the custom-painted blade, which not only enhances the bait’s flash and vibration but also blends seamlessly with the skirt for a more natural presentation. The combination of high-frequency vibration and visual appeal is perfect for drawing reaction strikes from bass that might otherwise ignore a standard jig or spinnerbait.
To round out its lifelike action, SPRO equipped the Cover Jumper with a hand-tied silicone skirt that pulses and flares with every movement. Unlike traditional banded skirts that can slip over time, a hand-tied skirt maintains its profile longer, ensuring a more natural and enticing look in the water.
A Trailer That Seals the Deal
SPRO didn’t just stop at the jig itself—they’ve included a soft-plastic trailer that takes the bait’s movement to another level. The trailer features long, thin, ribbed legs that add a fluid, natural motion, even on a slow retrieve. These appendages kick and pulse with the water’s movement, mimicking the subtle movements of a baitfish or bluegill in the water.
To keep everything locked in place, the Cover Jumper is fitted with a wire bait keeper along the shank of the 4/0 Gamakatsu Nano Alpha hook. This design ensures that your trailer stays put, reducing the frustration of constantly having to adjust or replace plastics after every cast.
Where the Cover Jumper Shines
The SPRO Cover Jumper is an excellent alternative to a swim jig or traditional vibrating jig, especially in situations where you need a little more vibration but still want a bait that can weave through cover. Here’s where it truly stands out:
- Dirty or Stained Water – The blade’s vibration helps bass locate the bait when visibility is low.
- Windy Conditions – A vibrating jig like the Cover Jumper moves more water and creates a stronger presence, making it an ideal choice when the wind picks up.
- Fishing Around Grass and Wood – Unlike some bladed jigs that struggle in heavy cover, the streamlined head design allows the Cover Jumper to navigate these areas effectively.
In terms of retrieve, this bait can be worked in multiple ways—a steady retrieve for a consistent thump, a yo-yo technique to trigger reaction strikes, or even a stop-and-go cadence to imitate a fleeing baitfish. The versatility makes it an essential tool for anglers looking to adapt to changing conditions.
Final Thoughts
The SPRO Cover Jumper Vibrating Jig is more than just another bladed jig—it’s a purpose-built bait designed to fish where others struggle. With its streamlined head, hand-tied skirt, custom blade, and high-quality hook, it’s a bait that excels in both performance and durability.
Whether you’re fishing in stained water, battling wind, or working through thick cover, the Cover Jumper offers the ideal mix of flash, vibration, and weedless efficiency. If you’re looking for a vibrating jig that can do it all—without hanging up in the thick stuff—this one deserves a spot in your tackle box.
