Thread: Loop knots or tie directly to the jig?

Overhanded Loop is very easy to tie. Any advantages of tying a different loop knot over this one? Example, non slip loop knot instead of Overhanded?

Loop knot of a small size oo Duo Lock hook snap.

Handy but looks like a BOOGER on jig! Thats what a swivel look like...Just My Take

I use small snaps and Fas snaps!

I find the FasSnaps use a really thick wire. Don't like that heavy a connect on my jigs. Besides, unless you're a Rockerfeller, they cost an arm & leg! Here's a much lighter and less expensive option:

So what knot do you use to tie the snaps to your line?

Those look like they would catch a lot of debris.

PS I took your advice and started using a black jig a with split shot above it, and slow
rolling just off the bottom. The big gills have been nailing it ...thanks.
