Has anyone used the figure 8 knot for tying a loop on the end of a
monofilament line? Seems like it ought to work ok.

The figure eight knot is sometimes used to tie on a hook/lure when
using coated metal leader. I wouldn't trust it to hold in mono. There
are much better knots that are just as easy to tie. For example; the
Perfection Loop or the Spider Hitch for heavier use,,,just to name
two.

Some pretty good info here http://www.marinews.com/fishing/fk_main.htm
