What Knot tying Spectra to Swivel ?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I put a 5-15ft heavy mono leader on the spectra (bimini to reverse albright) above the swivel, then fluoro below. Much easier to retie the mono on the water if needed and I don't like the way the weight slides on straight spectra. Not sure why, but it doesn't feel right to me. If I do tie straight spectra, I always use a trilene or palomar knot.
