Sorry I did not answer this question on my e mail reply, yes you can use 8lb braid as a whipping/serve, use your PR bobbin and spin it around over the hollow braid , same as you would to make a PR knot, with the mono leader up inside it, then glue over the top, I use the Jerry Brown glue which is a flexible type super glue, or again most often as a whipping I just use the dental waxed tape and do a row of tight half hitches over the braided splice, then glue over the top for protection, or a single pot urethane glue like PVC wader repair glue or similar, hope this is of help, cheers swordfishsteve

I have plenty of JB 80lb hollow braid, but did not bring in any 40lb or 60lb as it is near impossible to splice mono up inside it, IMHO ,cheers Swordfishsteve could try Yeehaa? not sure what Tony was stocking in this stuff.
