your best option is a shock leader.

You didnt ask for it but I think your main line weight is to light.

I would step up to 50# braid. I would down size on the leader a bit to 60 or 80 # floro.

The knot I use to connect main line to leader is a slim beauty.

My leader to hook has been a loop knot.

I havent had either fail on poons in the 140# class.

Just my opinion.
