I use 60 lb hollow core JB, it actually tests into the 90's for breaking strength. Loop to loop to a windon leader and you have full breaking to the end of you leader. Like others said your leader needs to long enough so the fishes tail doesn't rub on the braid. At the end of the leader use a strong swivel and strong split ring to change lures.
Use various windon leaders depending on the size of the fish. The larger fish use 100 to 130. Basil's windons and streamline windons are the best. They both have info to learn to make your own.
