I have been using this knot for a couple years now. From 30-65# spectra with 15-40# fluoro leader.
It's great..
I generally use either a Palomar or Uni knot from leader to hook or lure.

Check with the boats in the area. Some will have rigs you can rent for the 80-100 lb. line and will do a topshot for you on your reels. They will have their recommendations as to what they find works the best overall.

With braid to mono the strongest knots have been the Albright and the Slim Beauty so you can decide which you find easier to tie. With all these knots it is important to cinch the knot with the line wet or you risk weakening the knot and turning 65 lb test line into 30 lb test.

Albright. Palomar and Improved clinch (4 twists on 25# or less 5 twists on 30# and up) depending on the application.

X2 on knot. Now if I could just remember it while rushing to re-tie between bites.

Good luck Janine!! Put those reels to good use
