Tube Dude,
You're right again big guy. I use the trilene knot. You run the line through the eye of the hook twice, wrap 5 or 6 times and the run the tag end through both loops that you formed with the hook eye. It stays in place better than any other knot I've tried.
A couple of weeks ago I fished the 'Berry' with a couple of friends. One guy has resisted the notion that the horizontal presentation makes any difference. He complained that I was catching fish, while he was using the same thing without any success. I trimmed his nightcrawler down to size, and leveled his jig. It didn't take 60 seconds for him to nail a 20 inch cutthroat.
The
part is that he'll probably forget the lesson there, and go back to his old habits next time around.[crazy]
