I was reading an old book in the library "jig fishing for salmon" and I learned a few helpful hints.
1) jig heads can be dipped in Plasti Dip(tool handle dip) for extremely durable heads. I have tried this , and the coating will not come off when it gets beat upon rocks in the water. Unfortunately I have only seen it in three colors. Black, red, and blue.( sounds like the results of a bad barfight!) Anyway, I was hoping to find some other colors (i.e. white, and pink) but havn't had any luck.

2) another helpful tip is to take small guage chain (found in spools at the hardware store) and stretch it inside a box across two sides. cut notches on either side of the box and push the chain into the slots. Stick each jig hook into every other link on the chain. this makes a great holder for jigs when you are drying them for the plasti dip. also it is a great way to hold many jigs while you are spray painting them. This may be common knowledge, but I thought it was a good tip to share.

Steelhead Addict,
You can get some vinyl coating from Janns Netcraft. I am not sure of the number, but you can find it on the web. They have alot of colors for dipping jig heads that hold up great. I use an empty 660 yard spool of maxima line to hold my jigs while they are drying. You can flip the spool over and the jigs hook on to the side and hang over into the pocket and the few drips fall right onto the plastic bottom. I don't know if you could design anything more practicle for drying jig heads then this. Just a few thoughts, hope it helps you out.

I use the do it yourself powder coating on my jigheads as well as my spinner bodies and have very, very good luck with it .. simple to use to, no drips! Ted's in Lynnwood has it.
