When I was first starting out I tied some weird knots that mostly worked that I realized were just sloppy versions of real knots that I didn't quite figure out yet haha.

Now that I've somewhat gotten into the groove of things and figured out what the heck I'm doing I typically just use an improved clinch knot for mono (adjust the amount of wraps depending on how thick your line is - more for thinner, less for thicker) and a "braid uni knot" for braid
