Antioch.... I will just have to show you sometime. If anything for me my loop ends up to big at times. That is similar to the one I use but I pass the jig through that loop 2-3x. I use it with braid all the time. It sounds like you may just not be pulling out enough line initially. You have to pull quite a bit through the eye and if you make a big enough loop to pass it through you shouldn't end up with that small of a loop
