Look up the Shaw Grigsby knot on you tube. I believe it is called the double san diego jam knot.

I use a very carefully-tied Palomar.

Doubled Uni (I use at least seven turns). It's very versatile--I use it as my loop knot for topwaters and my drop shot knot. I like this knot a lot, now that I'm much better at tying it, I'm starting to use it on mono also--feels much stronger and more secure than palomar. Very bulky knot and very abrasion resistant

+2 on the Shaw Grigsby knot it's a very good knot I use it on light line on 20lb you don't have to double it and it works fine.

Reverse cinch has been the best for me.

A friend of mine started using fluoro last year and I showed him the palomar knot and he's had no issues and caught plenty of fish with it.

Trilene knot has worked well for me but you have to wet the heck out of it and draw tight slowly.

the key with fluro is to wet the knot before you cinch it. I still use the improved clinch knot and it works great for me.. it just has to be wet or you burn the line.
