String for slip bobber knot?

[quote tech29]How are you tying your knots? I too use backing and have never had any issues with knots coming loose over time, i.e. how many wraps do you do, how do you tighten the knots, etc....[/quote]

I've been using the knot found here: [url "http://www.wigglefin.com/fishing_knots/fishing_knots.html"]http://www.wigglefin.com/fishing_knots/fishing_knots.html[/url], the first one on this knots page.

I tighten by pulling both ends at the same time after making 6 wraps. The problem with the backing line is that it just bunches up instead of making a nice neat knot.

Last night I tried it with mono and it worked a little better. I also tried this knot with mono: [url "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUtlbesKanM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUtlbesKanM[/url], and it worked pretty well, but I'm not sure it will cast well. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow when I go to Brownlee with Duck-Slayer.
