Barry, i have experience this exact issue, particularly in winter fishing the MRGO. I cant say ive solved the issue, but i’ve figured out some things that help.

Wet the line and both knots before pulling the knots tight.

I try not to use heavier leader line, than my main line. (thinking if it breaks, id rather the leader break so i can quickly retie.

Try swapping to a different brand of line. I was trying one brand and it was horrible. Like 100% of the time, if snagged, it would break at the uni knot causing me to have to retie a leader line.

And lastly, you can also go back to using straight mono, but honestly its tough to go back.
