I use snap barrel swivels (for extra shininess and simplicity) so the Kahara KJ wouldn't work for me, no loop to snap into at twice the price. They run well enough w/o considering knot placement.

I can't remember any of the cheap ones I use ever failing. Rocks get hungry too but I love the jigs with bend-back-able hooks on 8# test mono and I broke a nice mid weight graphite rod trying to mussel in a lunker (snag) on 8# test one windy day. The rust rubs right off.
