When I tie on a bait that has a split ring do I need to use a loop knot?

I use a palomar for everything.

You don't need a loop knot, the purpose of the split ring is to allow the bait to work freely, which would be the reason for a loop knot if a bait didn't have a split ring.

Most any knot that you go thru line tie or split-ring twice is good. You need to watch where you cinch line to on the split-ring

i never use a loop knot anymore(been a long time)for any bass fishing.i sometimes use it on a crappie jig.polamar.],uni and improved cinch work for me.....rick

the Best knot and one of the easiest to tie even in darkness is the uni knot!!!It can be used to tie any thing you put on your line ,from lures and sinkers to flies and other lines even to your reels.ALso if tied right it can retain 90% to 100% of the lines strength....I use it for every thing

Palomor will work.

Thanks for the info guys. I will work on knots.
