What knots? It's just a small whipping knot and a knot less knot, I've tied it with 15lb iq2 and had no issues.

Are you sure you're tying it correctly? Don't mean to condescend, I remember I struggled with it when I started tying them.

Maybe just add a dab of superglue if tied correctly.

If you are doing the 'two fingers in the loop' method as per Terry Hearn that's very tricky unless you practice it a lot, this is much easier LINK

really cinch up the knots tightly mate, use puller tool or similar that should clear the problem.
