Mid leader knot

What knot do you recommend mid leader with 8 pound mono for a hi lo rig? I’ve used Palomar for drop shot and I’ve used dropper loops. The challenge is with a hi low rig when a fish takes the bottom (end) hook and the load must be carried by the tag side of the top knot. Knots loose a lot of strength when pulling hard on the tag end. Most knots are not designed to be strong In that direction.

Tie a dropped loop a little long, tighten it well and then cut one leg of the loop near the knot. A blood knot will also do the trick :)

Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere.
Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips.
