If u must..Double uni to uni It's almost as strong as the mainline..an like mac said a little zap a gap keeps the knot from eventually cutting into itself.
I have been doing this thing where I use a 20 ft section of 30 lb fireline connected to the main line of 20 lb fireline.The 20 lets me cast farther and get down better.The 30 gives me more peace of mind around the rocks..
it's been holding up fine so far.I put some good pressure on it also..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

I've been using Bimini loop to loop for years and have a 100% success rate and have taken some good sized fish too and on one reel there were 2 loop to loops. It may not be the best choice to go through the guides on a cast but otherwise its worked great for me.

I've been toying w/the idea of doing that...
