Bob, many salt water anglers use braided mono (like the braided loops) and splice the running line to Rio T14. Use about 16" of braided mono and insert the running line and shooting head in in 8" each. Then use 10lb test mono and tie on each end a nail knot at each end. Trim all tag ends and the ends of braided mono. Then glue the knot area only with plio bond. Very strong connection and does not hang up in the rod guides.
