I only know one fishing knot, the 'improved clinch knot' I believe it is called. A friend of mine mentioned that he was learning to tie some other knot that was supposed to be better for holding the jig horizontal in the water. Is that important? What knots work best for jigging? I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I hate the search function on here

Awesome! Thanks for the pointers

I like a loop knot.

A Rapala loop knot is what use. Since I began using this knot, my catch rate has gone up! It allows the jig to hang horizontal, which is a more natural look.

I use an improved clinch knot also.... Tied to a hook snap so I can change jigs easy...

I've been using the Reverse Clinch Knot for a year now and it's easy, fast & strong IMHO.

Good knot there. I use it or Palomar.

I use the reverse clench, there was a guy with a machine at academy for the grand opening testing different knots that people tied, the reverse clench not held to 14 lbs of pressure on 10 pound line and the line snapped not the knot or at the knot. just make sure you do at least 6 wraps, on small line, you can do 7 or 8.

I figured there would be a lot of different answers. I'm going to start learning some knots in my spare time (whatever that means). The reverse clinch looks pretty simple if I can remember how to do it backwards.

I've been using the clinch knot for forty years or so and thats on everything, including the 104 lb grouper offshore.

Palomar knot for me.

Double surgeon's loop...

Either a double loop knot directly to a jig OR an improved cinch knot to a No Knot clip is what I normally use..

Clinch or others work until the jig bumps into something, then it may not hang horizontal anymore.
With a loop knot, it will always 'float' in the horizontal position.

Simple overhand loop knot.
