Tuna Terminal Tackle

Hey Everyone I was just wondering if you could help me answer a few small questions.

I hooked into my first (2) giant bluefin today on spinning gear with a top water plug, and after crapping my pants witnessing the most awesome violent thing I've ever seen, and a blistering run, both fish broke off somewhere in the braid... heartbreaking, but awe inspiring at the same time...

We had saragosa 18000 reels with 65lb pp and wind-on leaders on with crimped on split ring to attach to the plug. I think we need bigger test braid and flouro to stand up to the caliber of fish we got into today, which is kind of a given, but I'm just curious what kind of terminal tackle you fellas use for a spinning outfit, and also what kind of knots you use to connect leader to main line, or if you use a barrel swivel ect...

Thanks

something clever and related to fishing
