I simply put a 1/2 hitch on the end of the line.  That DOES jam against any knot and prevent any slip offs. On my new braid I can just pull & jiggle the main line until the 1/2 hitch jams. done.

That will work, and if the knot is tied correctly it should not be slipping in the first place. 

I do that especially for the clinch knot -- good insurance!

The only knot I use that requires this is an arbor knot.

I don't get the purpose myself.  If the proper knot is tied on the proper line, slipping should never be an issue.  If it is, then you need to learn a new knot .

I use a 5 turn Triline knot. New Cajun 4# & 8# slips a great deal. The 1/2 hitch saves me.

I only add it when tying my line to the spool with an arbor knot. Other than that I feel a properly tied knot shouldn't slip.

I'd use a new knot, or line. "Guessing it's the line"

"Any port in a storm".....

For a bit of insurance singe the tag end and put a little bead on it.

Then crimp it and super glue it. 

 

Or use a knot that works with the line you're using.... 

If your braid knot slips significantly, that half hitch will cut through your line when it comes tight. Same with fluoro. It may save you for a short while, but tie right with the right knot and re-tie often.

Don't know what knot you're useing, but any knot that is tied with the tag end wraped around the mainline....Sand Diego Jam, Uni, Trilene etc.

The wraps need to be parallel to each other, not stacked.

Then when it's wetted and pulled, you shouldn't need glue or another knot to hold a knot (except maybe an arbor if you use it)

My opinion, but if it works for you...

I used to have issues with knots slipping or breaking, but over the years I've gotten pretty good because it's never a worry anymore.  If your knots are slipping you may need to wet it and cinch it better then always test it with a good tug before throwing it.

I tie a variety of knots. My philosophy is "If it ain't perfect, it's not good enough".

My preferences are the Arbor Knot for attaching line to spool; Alberto for mainine

to leader; Polomar for single hooks; 16-20 (Duncan or Pitzen) for treble hook

lures and San Diego Jam for braid, but I rarely tie direct.
