Just tie the running line to a 50 or 60 Lb leader. Get rid of all the hardware. If you are using a heavier mono running line that is somewhat close to the size of the leader , use a blood knot to tie the leader on. If you don't know that one , use opposing uni knots. If you are using braid , tie an Albright to join the leader. Use 16 to twenty turns.

For my jigging set up , I use 50 Lb Cortland Spectron on a BG7000CL. I Albright the 50 or 60 lb Ande on for a leader and tie to the jig with a uni knot. The thing is set up so the line almost never breaks in the Spectron when I snag the bottom . I want the jig knot to be the weak link. If I use a Polamar at the jig , then my leader knot will let go and I'll be tying leaders on all day.

The grand daddy way of rigging would probably be a bimmini at the leader and a Polamar at the jig. Too much trouble tying on that way for my taste.
