First try at the new
WWF
"Rhinestone Cowboy Diamond Jig"
Recipe
(1) cheap good for nothing $5, 8oz Diamond Jig from Academy that you bought because you had to get out of the house to do something that reminded ya of fishing since you cant seem to have a day off the same time the water is flat..
(1) 200# barrel swivel (would be better if I used one of woodys 350# big ring bearing swivels, and attach a assist hoot to the bottom ring of the swivel, but I was to lazy to go dig it out of the tackle box  )
(1) 8 or 9/0 Siwash VMC or Gamagatsu open eye hook that you know will eventually get snagged on something on the bottom and you'll loose the jig. Hopefully you've caught a mess of fish on it before that happens when your paying more attention to what your do'n while jigg'n while your "IN THE JIGG'N ZONEEEEEEEEEE" Oh and be sure you dont put it on the wrong end of the jig like I probably did..
(1) heavy poundage split ring that you wish was even heavier... I will spot weld it closed tho. Wish I had some of the long oval (the shape of a high school Track around a football field) shaped split rings that Eastern Tackle sells. I think they are stronger than the round...
(1) box of rhinestones from your local hobby store. or use the small package inside a Mighty Mendit glue box as seen on TV
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. do place rhinestones down with a pair of tweezers
Dont's
1. dont put super glue on the baby rhinestones while holding them with your big clumbsy fingers
2. dont put your fingers together when wet with super glue.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. do use a good glue such as superglue or maybe even small heat glue... Might get soft in the hot summer in the tackle box tho..
Dont's
1. Dont order a box of the MIGHTY MINDET glue that the late Billy Mays advertises that will glue any and everything together... It didnt work at all for me on this... was a waste of $9.95 (I didnt have to pay shippin either, I got it at a drug store in the "As seem on TV" shelf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. do put paper down on the bar in your kitchen so you wont get glue on the surface and upset your wife.
Dont's
1. Dont try to hide the glue marks you just made on the counter by using heavy cleaners, it takes off the surface and REALLY gets your wife wound up since you forgot to put the paper down the first time because you thought you didnt need it..
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. do open up the rhinestones on the counter top so you can see them
Dont's
1. Dont open the end of the package and let it slip out of your hand on the counter because them buggers go EVERYWHERE on the floor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. Do take time to put down the rhinestones carefully and neatly.
Dont's
2. Dont try to hurry it up so you can post it on 2 cool because you screw up the other side..
------------------------------------------------------
Do's
1. Do hum along the old Glenn Campble song "Im a Rhinestone Cowboy" as your making it
Don'ts
1. Dont make up the words your forgot, it makes you sound like a fool..Humm'n will do just fine... the glues gonna win no matter what you do anyway...
Well, ya gotta start somewhere.... 
The "the super glued my finger up" Hog
PS:
New and improved Second generation Rhinestone Cowboy Jig coming out soon. (as soon as I vaccum up all the dang rhinestones, get my fingers un superglued, and figure out what excuse Im gonna give my wife for messin up the eating bar in the kitchen.  )
PSS: Lifes to short to be so serious all the time... Yall have a good day

Have you tried powder coat on the jigs. I picked some up at Bass Pro a few years back and it works great. Your jigs are a lot larger than the 1/8- 1/2 oz jigs I used it on but it should work great. They even have a clear with sparkles in it .

First of all, thats one sweet jig, Hog.
I do all my jigs with powder paint now. The epoxy paints and sprays are harder to control, messier, toxic and more expensive to work with.
I have started to experiment with a powder paint spray gun that creates some great affects. I don't use reflective tape either, I just use a metal flake gloss on the 3rd coat. Super glow white or glow pink base on almost all the jigs.
Fun to get creative with the stuff and the ugliest excuse for a mistake of a jig seems to work the best.
