The Baja Knot or Mexican Speed Knot is actually the Perfection Loop tied with terminal tackle in the loop. It allows for a strong and easy to tie knot to be tied in very heavy monofilament fishing line.

After tying the knot it is necessary to secure the hook in the side of the boat or with pliers and pull the standing line very firmly to set the knot in heavy mono. Note that the hook actually hangs from a non slip loop. This is a benefit when using live bait as the free swinging hook allows for a more natural bait behavior.
