I don't do anything too fancy, I use about 12" of single strand wire and one of two connections depending on how much time I have:

when in a hurry: Albright knot connecting wire to mono.

when I have loads of time: A haywire twist with one of those very small Spro swivels (80# if I recall - the inline type that cost so much) in the wire loop and then just a uni-knot to connect the mono to the swivel.

I've not noticed any advantage of one of the above methods over the other.
