The Crimping Dilemma
The problem with crimp tools and crimping is the uncertainty. With so many sizes of monofilament and multiple holes on a crimper, how can you be sure you're crimping correctly? Unless you have a line breaking machine, you'll never truly know the breaking strength of your rigs.
Some might calibrate their tools to ensure near-perfect results. However, most anglers simply try to match the crimp size to the "appropriate" hole on the crimp tool, which is a risky game of chance.
Learn about:
- Different crimpers, crimps, wall sizes, and materials.
- How to choose the right crimps and the correct crimping tool.
Remember, different brand lines have varying thicknesses for a given line class. Always know your line diameter before purchasing crimps. Select the line that suits you and pair it with the right sleeve size.
Crimpers come in various sizes:
- Big game variety: For lines 300 lb and up.
