I always use a breakaway clip when jigging. They shine in this application. I looked at them new similar clips. They look good also.I am used to the breakaway, I can take a jig off and put one on without looking at it so I use them..
The reason I like a clip is that jigging with heavier jigs 2 oz or better the line can take a beating when it comes in contact with the bottom if you tie direct.The combination of the proximity of the knot to the actuall lure and the fact that it is a hard connection will add up to nicks and scrapes..If I where using primarily light jigs say 3/4 or lighter. I might go with a loop knot as it might have better action.
