I saw some videos for some crappie rigs but could not make out what kind of knot was used for the loop on end of line. I was wanting something where I could attach a swivel like the rigs that Eagle brand makes.

I have no idea what type of loop that you're talking about but I started using the canoe man loop after seeing it on a saltwater fishing show. It's the easiest loop I've found to tie.

For jigs I just tie an overhand loop knot. It allows the jig to move instead of being tied rigidly to the line.

Put the line thru the eye of the hook, keep the jig in the loop and do as shown in this video. I try to have the knot 1/4" or less from the eye of the hook but never touching it.

Palomar knot is the strongest knot I've found for tieing to swivels,jigs and such.

I tie a Palomar at the Top and an improved clinch at the bottom if the bottom is lighter line.

If I'm tying crappie jigs for trolling I use an overhand loop

Definitely an overhand loop, or surgeon's knot to tie on the jig. You want something that fits loose on the eye to get good action.
