Loop or knot

Do you tie a loop or a tight knot to your jigs?

Good question ..... LOOP for sure! It helps the action and they are easier to cut.

in my thinking when spidering knot, I dont like any "play" which at slow speed can allow bait thievery. when long lining just like Speckanator says "action and ease".

Loop for added action.

Loop...I change jigs alot and that knot is easier to cut (bite:D).

Loop for added action across the board.

I have always used a knot. with so many using the loop I may just have to try it.As far as cutting ease for a reason to use them ,I keep a pair of fingernail clippers in my
pocket for just those occasions.

i agree with Nate, longlining i use loop, spider riggin, use the knot, tight to line so
as jig stands straight out, tipped with small minnow............. move very slowly
though .1 - .3 mph.., also on spider rig, use 18 - 24" leader on swivel to a snap on
main line..........easy to change out colors, jigs, jig weights. (Use lindy spinner
holders for spare jigs) if hit by a gar, bass, big cat, things get really tangled fast..
better to cut reload and go..........
