Alberto knot works great. No tag end to cut your finger and I have never had that knot fail.

There are so many braids on the market now that are better than Power Blows, that it makes no sense to use it if it's giving you problems.

Try Sufix, Big Game braid or Stren Superbraid. Or even better for a VS, Fireline. Fireline works without headaches on almost any spinning reel, and it's mucho more abrasion resistant than Power Pro.

This is a pic from this weekend of sufix 65# that had a pretty bad cut in it. I used my scale to see what was left, and was pleasantly surprised that it broke at 31#. Considering the damage, I was impressed.

So far Sufix is working well for me on my 7000s. I just kicked a big spool of PP 50#, and may switch to Sufix for that as well.

The line actually looked worse that it does in the picture.
