jiggin for eyes
OTIS:
Thanks, I'll give that knot a test run tonight! Do you remove the split rings from your lures before you tie on the fireline? I don't have a problem with the palmento knot on the eye's of jigs, but on those split rings on the cranks it breaks as soon as the knot hits it.

no, but I do add a drop of superglue when tying to split rings to keep the line from slipping into the break.

I also like the bouncing presentation!

With stickbaits I now ALWAYS remove the split ring on the lure and just tie directly to a snap. Much more reliable action with the lure that way. With the split rings if the gap hits the eye of the lure the action is lost and by taking the ring right off and just using a plain snap you don't ever have to worry about it.

SB I've now taken the split rings off all my cranks and have noticed a HUGE difference in the amount of fish I catch. I use a very small snap.
So much easier to change lures after dark. I'd recommend this to anyone fishing any cranks.
