Dacron to Fluorocarbon

I just rebuilt an old Penn 114 full frame reel I'm going to use for sharking. It had a 1,000 yards of pristine dacron on it, and I've scavenged about 200 yards for my very small Penn Senator I'm going to use for bottom bouncing.

Here's my challenge: what knot is going to best join a smaller diameter floro leader to the dacron?

I've tried an albright and that failed miserably. I've tied on about 20 yards of floro using a nail knot, and that seems to be ok; but I'm just not sure given the horrible slip with the albright.

I don't want to go from dacron to barrel swivel because I want to wind on a lot of floro and the senator doesn't have a lot of capacity with the big diameter dacron.

Not many people seem to be using dacron now with the much smaller braids . . . thoughts?

Why so much leader? I may use it to troll for dolphin too. I can tie bimini twists, and often use palomar or other knots going to the bait, so I'm not :p worried about something new; just concerned about this line-to-line scenario.

Splice a loop in the dacron. Either use a yucatan or else bimini the fluoro and catspaw the loops.

You are right that dacron has fallen out of favor, spectra simply performs better.
