shock leader question

[BigDuke]

Picked up some Offshore Angler wind on leaders 100 # set up with a loop.... My plan is to join the leader to 80# braid. Do any of you guys have a good knot to make the loop in the braid so that I can join these loop to loop as designed.

Have any of you used these leaders? What do you think.

Thanks for the quick reply plan to spool up my new reel tonight here at work and I will attach the leader 2morro.

X2 ^^^^^ Either will get you as close to 100% line strength as you can get with a knot.

Well I have several rods to rig so I will try a couple of these knots. have you guys tried these offshore angler wind on leaders before? They sign well made with a quality loop.
