The only way I can get even close to the rated line strength is a bimini to bimini loop with the braided end catspawed around the fluorocarbon. That arrangement breaks at 55 lbs. The double bimini is a major pain to tie and it does run throught the guides very well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Are you telling me your depthfinder line is breaking at 35#'s instead of 60
