You make a loop in the Dacron by making a double splice and then you make a bimini in the mono and join with a 5 turn modified cats pawl. Its the only way.

You can do a long splice of about 2 mtrs then when the dacron is under tension and biting down onto the mono, whip either end with a 100mm whip, and use some UV bond, it wont be going any where.

Eish Shag, I don't feel comfortable with that. 80lb Dacron does not wrap tight enough on 0.90, but hey if it works for you then great.
