I'll second that advice and add this, make sure to moisten the knot really well so it doesn't weaken itself as you tighten it, especially important when working with thicker mono, and use pliers to tighten, hand pressure is not enough imho. For hooks (inline circles with offset eye) I use a simple snell, basically this is running the line through the eye, tying a uni-knot around the shank of the hook and pulling it up tight.
