How to Tie a Loop Knot for Damiki Rigging

- Pro bass angler Justin Lucas demonstrates why and how to tie a loop knot when fishing straight-tail plastics for bass. Fishing straight-tail plastics has exploded partly due to the wide adoption of forward-facing sonar; in conjunction with each other, the two take sharp-shooting and trigging pressured bass to a whole new level, as Jeff "Gussy" Gustafson proved during the 2023 Bassmaster Classic. When using the Damiki rig technique, Lucas emphasizes how a loop knot can increase your catch rate through improved bait action and orientation.

THE SUBTLETY OF STRAIGHT BAITS
According to Lucas, paddle tail swimbaits are losing their effectiveness due to widespread use and intense fishing pressure. Instead, bass often prefer straight baits' subtle and natural action, especially when presented above their heads. Lucas's recent experiences, including a successful trip targeting giant western smallmouth bass, underscore the effectiveness of this approach across various regions.
TYING THE PERFECT LOOP KNOT
The core of Lucas's advice revolves around the loop knot. This knot ensures the bait maintains a natural orientation in the water and allows for more free-flowing movement. Lucas provides a step-by-step guide on how to tie the loop knot, including starting with an overhand knot and wrapping the line six times before securing it. Lucas explains that this method prevents the knot from shifting around the hook's eye, ensuring the bait swims in a straight, natural path - crucial for long casts.
ADVANTAGES OF THE LOOP KNOT IN ACTION
The loop knot's benefits are particularly evident when used with forward-facing sonar, where precision and bait presentation are paramount. By adopting the loop knot, anglers can avoid common issues like the bait swimming off-course or handing at an unnatural angle (usually vertically), thus increasing the likelihood of attracting and triggering bass.

GREAT TIP!!! The Loop Knot is also critical for ice fishing to let tiny jigs dance the most freely.👍🏻
Such a big knot.
Check out the Lefty's Loop Knot. Tie an overhand knot, go through the jig eye, tag back through the overhand knot, around the mainline once, back through the overhand knot and tighten.
It's smaller, easier and will never let go.

So bass guys are just straight up crappie fishing and acting like this is all something new now😂😂.
Saltwater guys have been fishing this way for years as well. Bass guys are always late to the party.
Bass guys have been doing it for years also, just every technique has been documented about 100 times over. Lol
Is this with fluorocarbon or mono line? I'm guessing mon, since you're not supposed to use those types of knots with fluoro
It is fluorocarbon. That’s what I use 95% of the time.
А если джиг на шарнирной оснастке использовать и не
Мудрить с узлами 😂?
