Plait in the main line, to a catspaw with the wind on leader and then crimp a good quality sampo/richter snap swivel on the end. Atach lure and away you go. No sails in the abrolhos mate but plenty of macs, dollies and sharkies.

same as Daz- plait a double
same as Daz- plait a double and attach a wind on leader, then either tie or crimp a snap swivel which you connect your lure leader to. This is for gamefishing (sails, marlin etc)
For mackies I just tie a double in my braid, then use a GT knot to connect about 2m of 80lb leader to my lure.
