Loop knot
Got some new braid to try out. I use a double jig set up 99% of the time for livescope. What is a good knot setup with braid for tying 2 jigs?
I use a loop knot on the mono I use on my LS rod for double jig rigs .... passing the loop thru twice. If I were using braid, I'd use the same ... but probably pass the loop thru three times, especially if the braid is new or one of the new "slick" versions. I might even tie a "granny knot" in the loop (between the loop knot and the jig) just to keep the loop knot from slipping closed (from the "slickness" of the new braid coating). As far as the knot on the bottom jig, I'd probably just tie a Improved Clinch ... again, with the Granny Knot as insurance against slippage if using new or "slick" versions of braid.
I learned the hard way about "slippage" when I first started using braid (PowerPro 10/2) and quickly adopted using the Granny Knot (on the tag end) to stop the knot from slipping loose.

Not sure if it’s pertinent, but one of the most durable knots for braid is a series of simple over hands knots. one, two makes surgeon, three, four, five times round. That would give a nice extended leader for top jig.
Maybe they will bite this one……
probably a 2 or 3 loop , loop knot is the way i would go on a tandem with braid

I haven’t jumped on the braid bandwagon yet….probably never will. As a crappie fisherman, I find good quality mono performs excellent and does everything I need it too. That’s just my opinion though, to each their own.
Since the OP mentioned he's fishing with Livescope --- braid can be seen on the screen easier than mono, which can make keeping track of your jig(s) easier, especially when the screen is cluttered with other signals.
