What is the best knot for tying your backing line to your reel? With mono.

Blood knot?!?
Ok, maybe my inexperience with fishing is showing here.. let me ask the question again... how do you tie 'line' straight to the 'reel'?

Too late... I used the Palomar... it's my favorite knot anyways... I just didn't think I could use it at first because I wasn't thinking outside of the box... just have to make the loop big enough to go around the entire reel... Wastes a bit of line... but I was smart enough to take the reel off the rod first... wow that would have been a waste... Thanks anyways for the info.  ;D

Bird,
Thanks for joining the site.  You make me laugh ;D
I was just going to get you to consider a simple overhand with another overhand above it.  Too late :'(
