Yes know what you're saying,slip out the gap?,I use the palomar knot and have never had any problem with the slip out the gap problem.However My fishing partner has that problem at times and we use the same type jigs.Don't know why his does it at times when mine doesn't.He started tieing a double palomar knot and solved his problem.If he ties a single palomar he'll drop a drop of glue on the gap.
Yeah I like the feeling of the thump that braid gives you when you catch a fish and not having to set the hook is a blessing.
