TheCodFather Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 So would you recommend to use a knot that is synched down or a knot with a loop? Sometimes I think when I synch it down the mainline doesn't come out of the knot perfectly straight and causes my crankbait to steer to the left or right and impedes the actions but I could be all wet on that.

hatrix Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I think it is better to use "knots" that are not actually a knot. All the slips are excellent knots for any bait. If I had to pick it would be San Diego Jam and a Uni. They both are easy to tie and are slips. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted May 31, 2015 Super User Posted May 31, 2015 I've always tied direct using a Uni Knot. I don't want the knot in the split section of the ring. I don't want the split section of the ring to be located at the lure's eye loop. This requires more time than I like to spend changing lures. However, after reading a thread on another forum, I believe I will remove the split ring from a couple crankbaits and try a Norman's Speed Clip and maybe a Decoy Egg Snap...both with and without the lure's split ring. These 2 items look like they would not interfere with the lure's action while making it much faster to change lures, Quote
