Advice for my new setup. New to going after larger sharks.

So recently my husband and I came across a 9/0 that we ended up buying, I dubbed it as mine because I technically was the one who found it, along with a spool of 100lb power pro (546.5 yards), and I want the most efficient way to spool it. I was thinking about doing the 100lb first, then topping off with 80-100lb mono depending on how much would fit for where I'm at. I've got a few other smallers setups but I really want this one to allow me to catch some larger sharks. The biggest one I've gotten so far was about a 7-7.5ft (didnt have a tape) lemon on my Battle 8000 with a star rod. The part that sucks is I think I'm gonna have to actually have a know between the two lines since I didn't get hollow braid, and it makes me nervous with the knot going through the guides. Any good knots for tying 100lb braid to 60-100# mono would be appreciated?! This is the first time I will actually be able to go after the bigger sharks here on Sanibel.. and I don't wanna go out there unprepared. Where we are there are at least two sandbars, so I know I'll need the mono for that, I just don't know which would be better, going for the length with the 60 or the strength with the 80+. Advice would be greatly appreciated
