Knot Position On A Small Hair Jig For Bass

[Pup]

Thought that this video tip might be useful to those who want to learn or improve upon their technique of fishing small hair jigs for cold-water bass.

Brian, the Author, mentions in the comments section that there will be more videos to come.

Interesting! I will give that a try, always ready to learn.

If his point is to keep a more horizontal presentation, that would be right for a straight drop. If you cast out and have the knot tight and where he showed it, when you actually start to jig, be it slow or fast, would it not yank the jig into a non horizontal position from the angle of the cast? Just a question, because maybe I'm missing something. I don't have near as many years as a lot of you guys, so I am just trying to use logic.

I have seen an underwater video of this before supporting the use of a loop knot of some sort so the jig can make a natural presentation at any angle you cast/drop from.
99% of the time, I use a Perfection loop knot for jigs.

I am a fan of the loop also. If the fish ever quit biting on my ties I will probably change then.

Very informative - and gives one a lot to think about. I've always used a Palomar or Clinch knot and had plenty of action and gave me a good presentation.

But again that gives me alot to think about.

I've read quite a few of his articles and viewed a few of his videos. He really knows how to catch cold water bass.

I guess I've doing it right, all these years..
