I use braid when they're in grass because it's tough and nothing really matters about presentation... they just hit it.
All other times.. I use fleurocarbon and tie a two turn clinch knot. Reason, is its sensitive, less stretch than mono, most invisible, sinks, the list goes on, and the knot clinches tight will allow you to set your jig horizontal or how ever you want it
I don't want any metal connectors on my jig, or on any other lure for that matter. It doesn't take long to tie a knot, and that won't affect the action. Snap swivels may have a place, but is it not on the lure!
Been tying directly to the jig since day 1 35 years ago. Now, I do use 8lb Hi viz mono, plus I use sickle hook jigs. I truly believe this combination has increased my overall hook ups and success rate.

BC , that's the exact way I have been doing.. Can't see as well to tie the knot as I used to...thought about changing
Don tie one on a piece of line regular,then tie one on with a loop knot and put them in a large pickle jar and jig them around and tell me which one looks more natural.Dont know which one the fish like better,but I like the loop knot[emoji3]Quote:

fish can be caught single poling? haha
I'll try it.
After all... Isn't the goal of fishing to have fun and catch some fish? Sure it is. Pushing/pulling an array of cranks or jigs is simply work. You have to spend the majority of your time keeping the lines from tangling, watching the trolling motor speed, worrying about your chains or windsock all while trying to make sure that you stay on the course you plan on traversing...Quote:

Watched a video on YouTube a couple years ago with Whitey Outlaw on Santee Cooper Sportsman show. He was showing how he liked to tie a tight knot so he can adjust his jig horizontally as opposed to it just dangling vertically. I tried this method last spring with decent success. Before that I always just tied an improved clinch knot and let it hang vertically. I will experiment with a loop knot this year when vertical jigging as well.
