My question is this a good combination of knots for tuna.
This is also the rig that I use for the canal, when its hung up on the bottom and the tug of war is ended, the triple surgeons knot is the one that breaks first... In case you are wondering 40lb braid to 40lb mono.
Anything will help,

Personally I don't like to tie anything to braid except metal. I think it will eventually cut any soft line. For tuna I use a small spro swivel that will pass through the eyes easily. At 40 lb class it pretty small.
Just my opinion, I'm sure some guys tie those together sucessfully. But that's what I'd rather do.
All that said, palomar on the braid end of the swivel. Your choice on the end you can't use the palomar if the top shot is long.
