Powder paint. The pro tech stuff is what I use. Heat the jig head, swirl it through the powder, cure by baking in oven at 350 for 15 minutes. Be sure to keep the powder fluffed up. Use a straw, nail, wire, etc. after every few jigs to stir the powder. For larger jigs, pour the powder into a larger tupperware bowl and dip there. You can use a toaster oven (cheap ones at Wally World for around $20) and a small cookie sheet to heat them. Hold them by the hook with pliers. You could also use a propane torch or candle to heat the jigs. Get a couple of those aluminum bread pans (size that will fit your oven), take some extra wire and run through the top of the pan to make a rack to hold the jigs while curing in the oven. Just don't use the lead in any oven that you will be cooking food in.
