How to Keep your Jig Level?

[chaunc]

The way to keep your jig level, when using a trilene knot, is to put a drop of super glue on it after you pull it to the back. Please dont get any on your fingers. It makes for a terrible day.

Get a piece of small plastic tubing. Cut a short piece abt 1/4'' long. Run the line through it, tie on the jig, and slide the tube over the eye. This will hold the jig level whatever knot you use.

I tie several different knots,and It does not seem to matter, I guess the fish that want the funny hanging jig are after crippled bait, tie what you like it all works, i m o

I tie a knot similar to a uni knot and I too pull the line 90 degrees to the jig or slightly back toward the hook point. Don't know if the fish care but it's a confidence thing for me. Been meaning to try the loop knot approach but as yet haven't remembered when on the water. Too busy loading the boat, I guess!!lol

this subject has many pros and cons on keeping your jig 'level'. IMO don't waste your time. a predator is looking for some weakness in its prey to make success easier. any prey acting 'out of the ordinary' will surely attract attention. thus a bait hanging below horizontal, not level, is out of the ordinary. I 've always used the surgeons knot.

That's how I do it also.

LOOP KNOT works fine.
