Palomar and occasionally a Trilene knot. Just be sure to wet it thoroughly before you cinch it down.

I have always used a palomar, but I have heard a double uni doesn't stress the line as much. I am going to try to learn that one tonight since it is raining.

Improved clinch knot...this one works well for mono, flouro, and even braid w/o super glue (seriously!)

I tie a modified version of the Clinch knot that I made myself, but the Clinch knot usually works fine. I've been able to pull even the worst snags free with it.

Call me old fashion, but the only knot I use is the clinch knot. I tried some other knots, and lost some baits, and a fish, but the clinch works great for me on flouro and mono. Maybe its that I've been tying that one for 7 years.
