Ok heres the deal, Tek with probably tell you the same thing.

With JB 130 I use a topshot of 80 Momoi Diamond. I get 700yards JB and 100yards of Topshot on my 50W Tiagra.

My personal opinion about the best way to do this connection is to get the kit from Sato's Custom Tackle. The kit contains a specially designed crimper and crimps that allow you to crimp the connection between the mono and the JB (after feeding it up 5-6 feet finger cuff). You simply slide the crimp on, feed the line into the mono, slide the crimp down and crimp it twice. it is SOO easy and MUCH easier and more effective than serving. The connection is TINY you'll barely even see it. It also comes with a special glue that is made for this type of application unlike the Pink label stuff.

Sato's Custom Tackle Windon Crimp Kit - Saltwater Fishing Tackle

So basically you have a connection that is double overkill. It takes about 5 minutes too and you can cary the little kit (plano box) anywhere. I kept that and a spool of 80 on the boat and changed out a topshot in the cockpit while trolling in 5ft seas. I highly recommend it and you can get it from Tek, who can customize the kit to your needs. Its also great at making windons. worth every penny
