Uuuugggghhh!!! Lost a $40 ubmrella rig due to a bad knot! I'm using 80lb mono leader tied to a swivel on a lead line rig. Snagged some seaweed and bang - lost the umbrella rig. I had tied an "improved cinch knot" - but with the thick mono - it's kind of tough to cinch it up well. It must have worked itself loose - because I had pulled on it as hard as i could and it held.

Any ideas - what knot would you use in this instance?

Thanks
Dave
