Once again, what knot do you guys use when hand tying multistrand wire leaders. In this case I'm using 90# wieght. So far I've used a bowline knot, but am wondering if you have a better suggestion.

Also, anyone have any experience with Spro Power Swivels in 130#? I came across them last week in Florida, they look tiny for being rated at 130#.

Ranger,

Check out this link http://www.marinews.com/fishing/fk_main.htm they have some excellent knots that are easy to do, it even shows you in slow motion how to tie them. I think the Flemish Eye is a real easy and good knot for multistrand, I haven't tried it on wire that big but it works well on smaller pike sized leaders.
