I use a plain old fashioned square knot...any knot will do.

Anyone, and I mean anyone that claims to have gone all the way down to the knot and not been broken off is peddling BS.

I beleive you could get a fish back if there were afew wraps left, but all the way to the knot would have the knot bearing thousands of pounds of pressure...no knot or line could withtqand that much pressure.

I figure if a fish gets me to the knot, it deserves to live
