A loop knot has a slight advantage because it enables a bit more freedom of motion for the jig. I typically use the non-slip loop knot.

Thanks for the insight! Going to give it a whirl the next time a hook into a pin fish.

This type of jig should work pretty good for that type of fishing too. I normally prefer to freeline pinfish (rig consists of just a hook with not weight) when fishing inshore because the do a good job at swimming down to the bottom without the need of added weight in most cases as long as the current isn’t strong and it’s less than 10 ft deep.

Last year I fished with some pinfish that I had caught on a smaller swimbait (Z-Man Slim Swimz). On a whim I threw the pinfish (cut) out on a hook with a split shot and I was surprised at how aggressive the hits were by reds.

I’m curious about the jig weight as well.
