I personally prefer to make a loop on the leadcore and then connect the leadcore to the mono mainline with an albright special:

I've personally found strangulation knots like the blood knot to be hit and miss on strength tests , it's ok used on larger diameter mono like 0.50 but I personally wouldn't trust it .
Like said I would use a palomar or needle knot

For mono, I'd agree, but the 4 turn blood knot is recommended for fluro.

I use a Mahin knot when attaching shock leaders to braid. Might work?
Cheers everyone sorry I'd muddied the waters by asking about attaching a leadcore loop to my mono mainline on a thread relating to fluro! I'll give some of the suggestions a try thanks for your help.
