Ok . What's the primary difference between using a jig that has a vertical line tie compared to one with a horizontal line tie? I mainly use flippin and football jigs. My go to jigs are Combat, Mpack Structure Jig, Santone, and Revenge. I seem to like the vertical line tie the best. Advantages and disadvantages of both? Or does it matter? All feedback appreciated! Mike

I like vertical for cover because it helps stream line the jig to make it go in and out of the cover better. I like horizontal ties on football jigs as it seems to help it drag over rocks.

Vertical line ties, for me, comes through weeds a little better and is typically a swim type jig line tie. Horizontal is usually not as good, again for me, at weed snags.
Other than that I don't really see a huge difference.
The biggest difference for me is the jigs with recessed line ties. It helps with protecting the knot and helps to prevent "blow out" on hook set.
Again. This is my observations.
We all know that someone will come one here and prove me an idiot, noob, or a rookie.

I don't see a big difference. but I mainly throw a heavy finesse jig and a football which the ones I have all use the horizontal line tie.
