The rustoleum dip is with a bare jig. Now the jigs are not all corroded. Even if they were , i would just dip them. It does not chip at all. It does get scraped and if the area gets bashed in , that arae of the jig will also lose paint.
I set up an old wire rack. I dip the jigs and hang them on the rack. When we were goinmg nuts on jig making we might have 200 drying at once , all just inches apart on each wire of the wrire rack. Put newspaper under it cause they will drip no matter how long you hold them over the can after dipping.
The paint does not crack. It will get scraped off and the jigs certainly dent if you smash into a rock ntu I don't think it matters. No matter how bad they get , just dip them again if you want. Powder coating takes a long time , you need to bake them (not in my food oven!) and then if they get wacked good , even the powder coated ones will chip off. I doubt you can recoat them easily where as with paint is just another dip in the can.
The faces of the jigs get all smashed in at the canal do to the current and the fact they are often tumbling on the bottom at 4 to 5 knots. I never felt fish were not hitting it because the face was smashed or the paint got scarped a little.
