Here is a picture of some weedless shrimp, paddle tails, and jerk baits. Just use your standard worm hook with a roll of solder if you want to add some weight.

If no companies make weedless jig heads you can probably easily make one by taking about an 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch long piece of light wire. Bend it in two and put the end opposite the loop into the eye if the jig head, twist it several times until tight, then put the end peice under the hook point.

Or you can work the lure fats enough that it does not get down into the grass or work the edges of the grass if you wish to stick with a jog head. 

I once had a bad day of fishing, but it was still great!
