Default Conecting light line, to heavy line?

So yesterday I was fishing, and missed a really good fish! I was fishing a 1/8 oz shaky head in clear cold (50's, 60's) water. And I know the fish get finicky in conditions like this. So I took my 12lb Pline cxx (about 17lb dia.), and tied a uni to uni knot to 8lb floroclear leader. So I set the hook, and I see a big green flash, and a feel a big head toss, and than my line goes limp. I reel up and the knot had bust.

Only thing I can really think of that's stronger, is to go all out with a bimini twist. but as you may know, it's not really something that's to easy to tie and takes a good bit of time. So what your favourite knots for something this?
