Fishing Line Crimping Tips

How to Crimp a Fishing Line

Anytime fishermen need to connect two pieces of monofilament fishing line or connect a leader to a piece of monofilament line, one of the best methods is to use a double-barrel sleeve and a crimping tool. When anglers want a strong connection between their lures and line, crimping is also an option. Crimping is especially useful when large fish species are the target.

Instructions

    1 Select the proper sleeve size. The sleeve opening should be just a little larger than fishing line's diameter. Thread the end of the fishing line through one of the sides of a double-barrel sleeve.
    2 Thread the end of the fishing line through the eye of the lure with which you plan to fish. This circular eye is at the top or front of artificial baits and hooks. If you plan to fish with a steel or wire leader, thread the monofilament through the circular piece on one end of the leader.
    3 Thread the end of the fishing line through the remaining opening in the sleeve.
    4 Hold the flame from a cigarette lighter to the small piece of monofilament coming out of the second sleeve opening. As soon as the heat causes the line to soften, use the butt end of the lighter to flatten it.
    5 Pick up the crimping tool and position the sleeve inside of it. The rounded surfaces of the sleeve should line up with the rounded surfaces of the crimping tool. Squeeze the crimping tool to compress the sleeve around the line. You may need to compress the sleeve twice.
