This blog post may be quite helpful to those looking for the best knot for a braided line to swivel, hook, or lure...

"If you use a swivel to connect braided line to your leader, then it’s smart to have a fishing knot specific to that need because the knot will most often be the weakest point in your system (assuming you’re using a light braided line for maximum casting performance with a heavier leader to handle the biggest and saltiest of predators).
Most importantly, it’s smart to use a fishing knot that is proven to excel with braided line.
Many fishing knots that are strong with mono are not nearly as good when used with braid given the vast differences in the two line types.
Since this connection is so vital, we decided to perform a test that matched the most popular knots against one another to determine which one truly is the best fishing knot for braided line to a swivel, hook, or lure."
-Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!
