hey i too was in your dilema not to long ago untill i figured out the eugene knot and i love it.... i used to set the hook and reel in a broke knot and i tried that eugene knot and by far u wont find a better knot... i actually modified mine to make it even stronger.. instead of going thru once and doing the twists and stuff.. i go thru twice then i tie the knot.... so it had two wraps of line around the eye instead of just the one... i just put it thru once come back and thru again..... i think it works much much better that way too....
