Great point Bill. Years ago, I would run a 10' pc of 40# mono at the end of my wire to help take up some of the shock when the fish hit.
I forget how I made the connection, but it was likely an Albright Knot?
If you where to use an Albright Knot, it would be a good idea to shrink wrap it.
The trouble you will run into is when that knot hits the eyelets.
