It depends how heavy what you're throwing is and how nasty the cover you're throwing too.

I flip mostly fairly heavy stuff into nasty cover. For that I use at least 65 lb braid. I like the San Diego Jam knot for this -- never had a knot fail.

Can't say because I never use mono anymore, but I imagine it would. It's easy to tie and doesn't slip on braid or fluro.

Rapala knot. wrap it 8 times, then through the loop and back through the top loop. pull tight and trim. never had one slip or fail!
