I dont believe you can chinese finger 50 lb braid. I dont think it is hollow. Could be wrong.

O.K. I'll say it again; best bet is to use Jerry Brown hollow core braid and put a loop in the end and then use a loop to loop connection

Ooooor you move up to 65lb JB and chinese finger trap the mono and serve the junction.

A bunch of the offshore boards have big long threads about this, easy to google.

For what it's worth, I set up a knot/line breaking mini lab.
Power Pro consistently breaks at a little over 50% of its rated strength, Jerry Brown is in the mid 90%'s (breaks are happening in the middle of a 4' section of line being pulled between fixed point and scale, not within 6" of knots, pressure is gently increased until line breaks).
The slim beauty tested in high 90%'s, albright, double uni and surgeons all failed between 50-75%.
I like the sound of the loop in Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown has hollow core at 65#, I believe PowerPro goes to hollow core at 80#.
We switched everything over to Jerry Brown and the slim beauty with good results.

going to try slim beauty as it seems to be easy to tie and goes through the guides good, anyone using the momoi braid have any feedback on it?
