it got chipped when i over casted it and hit the rocks.. 
p.s. this jig a little heavy for my rod (it bends when the jig is hanging) is that alright?
Dunno why you're getting such odd answers -- Y!A Fishing is in a weird mood today, I guess.
No, it won't affect the lure's performance in terms of the way it swims. A little paint chipped off isn't going to change the weight or shape enough. However, it does change the appearance, though your lure doesn't look too bad. The thing I'd worry about is that more and more of the finish will chip off now until it really looks hammered, especially if you hit those rocks again.
If you want to extend the lure's life a little you can touch it up. They make special paint for painting jig heads, but if you don't want to go through the trouble of finding it and matching the color, you can touch it up with some clear fingernail polish. This might protect the chips and keep them from getting worse in the short term. This is one reason you never, never let kids fish with the lures you really like (smiley face).
As to the heaviness of the jig vs. the rod -- no, it's technically not all right. You should fish the tackle that the rod was intended for. Using lures that are too heavy or too light impact the performance of the rod, which will affect the effectiveness of your fishing. For example, you'll get more casting distance with that lure if you use a heavier rod. Also, you'll wear your rod down faster by repeatedly casting lures that are too heavy. However, this is not a big deal -- most fishing gear these days is reasonably sturdy and will stand up to such treatment. It's really a matter of getting the best performance possible out of your equipment.
