I generally just double the end of the line with a single bend, then, using the doubled piece, tie a single overhand knot. pull on the loop and the long end, the loop will draw tight and will not move. Quick, easy, dirty solution. A drop of glue is not a bad idea, belt and suspenders, if ya know what I mean.
