Little buggers was ....

all in my way yesterday in ridiculous fashion . the greens and hybridized greens would NOT stay off my jig barely long enough to ketch my intended victims .
the good news is about every 3 or so one of my crappie victims would get a chance to bite as well :highfive
and the amount of fish taken was a number not to imagine for sure .
some would say not a bad problem to have but for me they are just in my way
the lil private pond was on fire for sure though and man did I put the hammer on some fish fast yesterday afternoon .
18 inches under a float with a small orange hand tie and KABOOM it was :cheers2
stay tuned and have a great day

Not only nice fish but that hand tie looks pretty awesome as well. Great job all the way around.

I'm curious , why do tie with the open loop vs typical knot that pinches down on the jig eye ? ( nice fish )

by leaving the loop when tying the jig on, GreenLine, you're giving the jig enough room so the water, or rod movement allows more movement, action like a live minnow would. Least wise that's how it was explained to me...

That must work with a slow stop and go retrieve while casting with ultra light gear ? I've always used single pole and tied them tight to keep the jig horizontal while in the water. Some days the bite will really slow down if my jig starts to be vertical.

Loop knot jigs will almost always stay horizontal in the water unless the jig is tail heavy and that’s about impossible .
It’s the only knot I use and you should experiment with it and discover its simplicity .
It ties fast and is built to last and the only down side I have ever encountered is if you have cheap jigs and the eyelet isn’t closed up tight .
The upside is you ain’t never seen a jig look more natural and never have to adjust the jig on the line like you have to do with clinch knots and Palomars as well .
I use it always and vertical jig constantly and pitch and drag and etc etc etc
