Palomar and improved clinch is all I generally use. Improved clinch on swivels and palomar on the hook. A few years back at the berry, I had three trout break off all in a row. I took the 8lb test in each hand and gave it a tug and it snapped. So I pulled off 20’ more and pulled it again and that snapped. I’m not sure if it was just a defected spool or That particular spool of line had sat in my very hot and cold garage for two seasons before I put it to use. But I re spooled it with a back up spool of 6lb stren and had no further issues
