I seem to always use the Trilene knot.
The Trilene Knot is a strong reliable connection that resists slippage and premature failures.
The Trilene Knot is an all-purpose connection to be used in joining monofilament to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The knot's unique design and ease of tying yield consistently strong, dependable connections while retaining 85-90% of the original line strength. The double wrap of mono through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added safety.

If you are doing double through the eye then you are pretty much doing the trilene... Its much stronger that way. Good Choice

Lyman: The double through WOULD [/b]do something if you caught a big enough fish 
Sorry I couldn't let that go by  .......But it is the truth.

I use the Palomar Knot, quick and easy and it ties a good knot.
