Try reverse clinch Knot 0r Tie a clinch knot, but wrap down as opposed to up. Pinch the two lines about 6" up from the swivel/snap/whatever, and wrap down 5 or 6 times. It cinches down very tight this way. Lubricate very well and pull very tight. I've never used Andes but it works good for me on 80 and 100 Mono

Spitting on them is very important and what ever knot you use, test between two truck bumpers with a slow pull by tying two snelled hooked leaders one on each end of a swivel. Tie something to your hooks so when it breaks you can find each end. I just tie more line on each hook and tie it off somewhere. so when it breaks you can find the hooks. Also by doing this I found out I needed a stronger barrel swivel.
