Also, there are specific knots to use for attaching the line to your spool.

yeah that's my question.... what's the right one or best one?

I use a Uni-knot. It should hold if you get run down to it--not that I ever expect to.

Fact of the matter is, in the Canal, if you let a fish get that much out of control, she's going to hang you up on the bottom long before she runs you down to the knot

If your getting spooled to the knot you may want to leave a few wraps of line by holding the spool. The very little of what is left of mono may act as a shock absorber due to the stretch properties of mono. This "give" could be the difference between a snap off or not.
