Protec powder coat. But I'm not sure about baking/curring them with the weed guards already on them. I install the weekguards after baking.

1st I would clean the old paint off the jigs. The if you are using powder paints you can use a lighter and heat up the jig head and dip them in the powder.

Re: paint for bass jigs

Meallenjr,
If you are pouring your weedguards in place I would recommend vinyl paint. It worked the best for me. If you are going to spray it, you have to thin it about 50-50 with their thinner or if you use something else make sure it is a slow thinner. If you don't you will be shooting spiderwebs. Hope this helps.
