Default Bimini Twist in 50lb Power Pro

The application is fly line to Power Pro backing. The usual knots don't work
well. I actually am starting to think a loop will not work since the super
line will probably cut through the fly line. It looks like I'll end up
connecting the lines together with a knot called a "Fishys" Braid-to-Line
Knot (Basically a unitknot slipped up against a simple overhand knot, then
whipped with 6/0 thread.

I am using 50 lb Power Pro on my son's bonefish rod (OK, it's a fly rod,

cut
me a break here).

Has anyone every tried tying a loop in the Power Pro using a standard

Bimini
Twist? I have tied it on the bench and it seems to work fine, but I don't
want to learn that it isn't really a good knot while "on-the-job".

Thanks from Rick
