I prefer to use a quality swivel -- rather than merely using a blood knot. Jigging for macks through the ice or otherwise is done with larger jigs than one uses for typical ice fishing. I have watched these jigs through an AquaVu camera and they invariably always turn the same direction every time they are jigged. After awhile, it is easy for your line to become twisted if a swivel is not used.
