I use a flourescent bead, works great.

Try a drop of Krazy Glue on the knot.

I use either a glass bead pulled tight against the swivel with the spectra knot pulled into the bead to protect it or a Carolina keeper slipped just above the knot.

w the carolina keeper. A little more versatile than a bead....

There is a type of egg sinker that has a slit in the side and a plastic insert that you twist to lock in the sinker on the line. This makes it easy to add and remove sinkers without retying hooks.

I bet the plastic piece has a similar effect as the beads in terms of protecting the line.

....and retie every couple of bait changes.

This is what I like to use instead of an egg sinker. It slides great and never damages the spectra or knot. I like being able to easily remove the sinker when I want to fish the surface, need to change to a heavier sinker, or when I am done fishing there is no sinker banging against my rod while driving.

I found these at Squidco. Not sure who else might have them.
