Back when I fished braid, I always used a palomar knot. Since going exclusively to mono, I always use the Huckabee knot except when dock shooting and then I use the palomar knot again.
Like Floyd said above, I always strip off at least a yard or of line to keep it fresh. Mono is not that expensive and I'd rather spend the money than lose a trophy fish! I mean 1500 yards of 6# HiVis Mr Crappie mono is $6.99!
Sooner born, Sooner bred and when I die, I'll be Sooner Dead!
