The Best Knot For Jigs (Easy & Strong Loop Knot)

- A lot of people ask me, "What's the best knot to use with the Slam Shady?"
There are tons of different types of knots, but when you're talking about knots to tie to a hook or jig, they all fall into two categories:
1. Snug knots
2. Loop knots
Snug knots are stronger and are best for when you don't need to put action on your bait or lure, such as if you're using live bait.
Loop knots, on the other hand, are best for when you want to maximize the action on your lure to get more strikes, such as if you're using a paddletail, jerk shad, or topwater.
As far as which loop knot I recommend, check out this video.
It’s strong, the loop allows for great action, and when you tie it right, the tag end faces forward, which makes it much less likely to snag grass as you’re retrieving it.
Have any questions about this knot?

Can you use braid
Thanks sooo easy to setup
yes(or hopefully)🎣🐟
"Roughly half the size of an M&M."
Finally a channel that uses a good measurment system
Haha!!! The metric system is overrated:)
@@Saltstrong would this be fine with 10lb flurocarbon? Thanks btw some others are showing it wrong.. by coming back threw the knot on the wrong side 🙃
@@leafysfishing Yes, this knot works for 10 lb line too. Sorry to see that others are showing this loop knot with the wrong finish.
@@Saltstrong thanks I'll be giving it a go 👌

I switched my knot on my lunch break today. First cast after I landed a 24” snook on lure. Thanks for the help guys! I’m stoked!!
Nice job. Great fish
Thank you for sharing. I'm almost 70 years old and still learning.
This is the best channel for learning fishing knots. Without it, lots of us would still be tying crap knots.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!
So much easier and quicker than the "non-slip loop knot" that everyone else is showing with the 6 wraps. Gonna try it right now. Two wraps n thru/done! Nice.
i wish my memory was better so i would actually remember what you did 2 seconds ago.
🤣😂💀🪦⚱️...Same
Lmaoo same
Get some line and a jig head and do it while you watch.
Lol!!
🤣🤣🤣
This is my go to knot I’d like to see you test the break strength with different amount of wraps, thanks for the info bro
This is the first time i have put on a lure and i just got back from fishing. Thank you for the help!!!!
It's an easy to remember stress free knot that can be used in many setups.
Very true!
Great information and going to use this know for most of all of my lure jigs!
This knot will be a game changer for weedy situations, thanks!
Going for some Lake Erie Walleye Saturday definitely trying this knot Thank for the knot cheers
This knot is one of the best. Great for Rapalas, hair jigs...you name it. The action is so much better/more natural.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for a simple explanation! You make it look so simple!
I’ve been using those ZMAN jig heads and Slam Shady swimbaits and fishing at night successfully 👍😜 and I use this loop knot on my top water lures, but forgot all about using it on my jigs…. LOVE IT 😜🎣✊
Awsome strong knot! I used it for a 80lb mono with a circle hook and it worked great! Thanks for sharing!
I've been tying that loop knot for 50 years and you are the first one I've seen tie it besides the grand kids I've taught it to ! I only fish for crappie on 4 lb test so I do wrap the main line 4 x but still the same knot ! Bravo !
👍🎣⚾️
TH-cam the dad I never had!
Glad we could help!
This is a very nice and easy knot. Time to test it to A grouper 🔥
Excellent info! That weedless loop knot is awesome. It's in my knot arsenal. I only use about a handful of knots. Uni knot, loop knot, palamore, snell knot, dropper loop and your basic over hand knot.
Question, why do you use multiple knots ? Are some knots better to use for certain lures or hooks? PS miss fishing in the gulf just moved back to NY , so much more of variety in the gulf
Line to leader with Uni ,?? Thanks
That is simple knot, i can do that..thanks fo this tutorial
awesome knot, thanks a bunch!
Thanks for another Great informative video
Good demo and thank you for the narrative and not playing obnoxious music.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice tip. Thanks for making this video!
Great knot, it does make a difference having the jighead able to swing freely, i use lefty's loop for the same reason
Joe what is the lefty nott please ?
@@mikewright8328 make the same granny knot, then pull that loop down to the hook and cover it with your thumb and forefinger. Then tie a clinch knot, and when improving it, take it through the granny knot loop, pull tight
Thank you! Going bay and jetty fishing, and needed a refresh
Do you prefer jig fishing?
@@63striker jigging, bottom rigging or casting depending if i lose too much tackle in the beginning or getting no hits. lol
Awesome Luke. Thanks once again for your easy to listen to instructions!!
My pleasure!
I can’t believe it‼️
I tied it 😊
Exact same loop knot I tie !! 😎👍👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Love the eyes on that jig weight. Never saw that before.
Great video, thanks for the lesson 🎣
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for the video 👍
Great stuff. Thank you!
Great knot. Thanks.
Thxs for this man my brother starting to get annoyed at having to tie my lures on 😂 worth a sub
Thanks!
Great idea
I've used that knot to tie down an aircraft.
Try a Palomar knot next time and put the aircraft thru the knot
@@jayd2535 😂
@@jayd2535 way stronger lol
Update, how's the aircraft doing after all theses months? 😂
I am going to use that for my pompano jigs thanks
Great for shallow fishing on 3/8 jig
tyvm i really needed to know this.
that's helpful, thank you
NICE WORK MATE VERY WELL DONE IAM WATCHING FROM AUSTRALIA TIGHT LINES 🇦🇺 🙂 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video thanks
Love it, gonna try it right now.
Awesome!
Thanks!! Great easy to do video!!
Glad it helped!
Cheers Mate!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Made it easy thx
Will using a loop knot tied directly to a jig be more sensitive to soft strikes than using a clip or a snap/swivel? Thank you.
Thx you so much. 🤗
Freedom of motion, maximize action of jig. Thx. Fish on!
Perfect thanks mate
Glad we could help!
very good
This work to fluorocarbon too ? Excelent video
I'm spoiled with my tactical angler power clips. I change lures way too often but this looks pretty quick and easy as a backup just in case I run out.
HelloGeno thats what i use also. I use the smaller ones for inshore, bay fishing and have no issues. For fluke fishing, i have the bucktail on the bottom and just pass the loop through the eye of the Bt and then pass the bt through the loop so its easy jig changes
Great setup. I have a question should I use a swivel and leader for my jig heads or tie it straight to my line ?
Thanks
Does a snap swivel do the same thing? Great knot : )
Like that Jig...easy to understand ...any links on where to get that jig
Great!!
The knots are tied correctly and very good instruction however the invention of the tactical angler power clip and duo locks makes it really simple where you don't have to retie if changing lures. The Duo lock is also very easy for lead head fishing giving the lead head a natural motion . All you do is match the size power clip or lock to the size lure or lead head. The non slip loop knot for Saltwater come in handy for live bait presentations as ringed hooks are pretty expensive.
@feeshyfeeshy Were fishing for California halibut and striped bass from the surf. As where jigging for the halibut, individual striped bass will suddenly show up requiring a hardbait lure . . We also have a one rod rule in effect for our region . So to make the swap out in seconds were using power clips. We also use the power clip to snap on a pretied drop shot rig for the halibut and will make the quick swap out when we see a striped bass.
Perfect 👌
Thank you for checking it out!
Do you use the same knot on the tease eye jig?
Does this knot work well when using braided line?
Rapala knot. It's not bad and it's secure
Thanks for the feedback!
good info, can you tell me where to get that jig head from, looks like a winner
Have you guys done any testing with this knott with like ultralight line like 4 lb? Or is there a better loop not for ultralight jigs I don't know about
Do I need to tie a weight or put split shots? Lately it feels like my lures don’t cast out as far. When I cast it feels like it goes out about 6ft.
Do you think this would be good for big popper
Do you use a loop knot on your Owner twist lock as well?
What jig head is that, and color, if you would share a link to that,
Thanks, nice knot also..
That is a cool knot and easy to tie! Couldnt i just use a clip instead or does a clip not give as much action?
Yes, a clip can get the desired motion too. But it'll increase the odds of the more wary fish to not strike because they can see something that looks odd in the lure's profile, so we do not recommend anything metal that's not essential.
Can you provide a link or name of those spit ring scissors you used?
Half the size of an m&m should be a unit of measurement
Agreed! haha
Me being 11 and doing this hooked my self a lot lol
Try a dry lift with as much weight as you can till it breaks at the knot, Not try tying the new knot under water, than do a dry lift and see the weight difference when the knot breaks, it will shock you. Great tutorial, thx.
Thanks for the tip!
How’s it effectiveness on 4-8 lb test for trout , smallmouth etc ? ? Thx 👍
Work with braid?
Does this work with braided line?
Will it work for fluorocarbon
Do you like this knot better than the canoe man loop knot? The tag end for both face in the best direction, but the canoe man is easier to tie.
Yes, this knot tested out to be slightly stronger than the canoe man knot and I find it easier to tie too (but that likely is due to using this knot for many years).
Not exactly related to knots. I bought the slam shady (~3” long). Which jig and what size would work best with the slam shady? Thx
Depends on depth, 1/8 oz jighead for shallows (1-2ft), 1/4 oz jighead for deeper water(3-5ft)and so on.
Luke, what do you think of Homer Rhodes knot ?
That's one that I have not yet tried out. I see that it leaves the tag end pointing up towards the rod which is one ding against it relative to this non-slip loop knot. But its design may very well have a higher breaking point.
Full and half palomars never fail
Dude, how to do an inline spinner tie, i cant find any videos (the spinner with the shiny oval metal part on the lure it self) dude PLS HELP ME
What lure is that ?
Do you connect this leader line to braided main line with a snap swivel so you can easily switch to another leader line with different jig head?thanks!
Not usually. We usually tie the leader to the braid with an FG knot, uni knot, etc.
thanks bro real helpful
Could this knot also be used on braid or something like it?
We do not recommend this knot for braid. If you decide to use braid directly to a lure, the line is so flexible that you don't need to use a loop... just go with a snug knot like the Uni.
When you go back down through the loop you want to go in the opposite direction that you brought it up through right?
The key is to follow the lines into the loop... on the way down, the tag end should thread through the loop from the opposite side in order to follow the lines.
@@Saltstrong opposite side of what?
What about lighter line? I live in south Florida and wanna start fishing some of the canals around her.
You can use this knot with lighter line
I would like to see a pool video of the movement of a jig tied with a loop knot compared to a snug knot. I bet there is not much difference
The DOA website has one
There is a huge difference, i have demonstrated them in tanks at boatshows. They fall naturally instead of stiffly for weights up to 3/4oz
Dá uma olhada
What is strength of this knot
What swimbait is that?
Great knot have used this for years. Plus there are others very similar to your knot Question why should I get a Micro power pole for back country fishing. I see you don’t have one on your Kayak. It would stop from being pulled into the mangroves????
They are definitely helpful, so the question is just if it's worth the cost compared to using a stick pin manually.
Very similar to the DOA knot
Would this knot work on 6 pound fluorocarbon line?
For sure
Will this work for freshwater as well
Yes, the salinity of water does not have an impact on the knots.
Hi how I can do double jig on same
