Leader to Swivel Knot - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Can I get a suggestion on a knot to tie the fluoro leader to swivel for flyline with 65lb spectra. I first started with the Uni Knot which failed about four times when hooked up

(I've tied uni my whole life so I don't think I tied it wrong). I'm now using the Palomar which holds great but is kind of a pain to tie to a swivel that's already tied to spectra since I have to cut off the swivel to get the loop around(unless I make the loop HUGE and wrap it over the entire rod, which would be absurd) I'm guessing San Diego Jam might be best, any suggestions??

Thanks!
