Trilene knot. 3 turns in #50. Make sure the loops don't cross. Lot stronger than a clinch.

Uni's break at about 60%. Palomar's are good in braid, and good in mono, but hard to set right in heavy mono. You must be sure the loops don't cross and the wrap needs to set low around the loops rather than high around the line. The loop knot is an excellent one for attaching direct (as when jigging).....but again you only want 3-4 turns in heavy mono.
