Micro Bait Knots

Once we have figured out the micro baits that we are going to start fishing with, then it comes down to deciding how and which knot to tie the bait to the line with. These baits are very small and for them to be fairly productive we need to tie them so that they hang horizontally. A normal bait is tied so that the knot is tight to the eye of the hook and if we were to do that with these baits, the bait would hang somewhat vertically and is not natural looking. These baits need to hang and be presented horizontally and by tieing a LOOP KNOT we are able to achieve this. By following the diagram and with some practice, these knots will come second nature to the angler and will not even have to think about it when tieing. By creating this loop this allows the bait to hang horizontally and also is able to move easily and naturally as the angler is jigging the bait. The free movement of the bait also allows the fish to not feel the tug of the line as they suck the bait in and this is going to allow more hookup rate successes and more fish on the end of the line. There is other knots that work very well as well but we have found and so have others that the LOOP KNOT is a great knot for fishing with these micro baits....
