Good connections are essential for all rigs; it doesn’t matter if you use steel,
Kevlar, mono or fluorocarbon - the fish is gone if your rig breaks. For this reason predator experts always crimp their rigs and with the correct sized sleeve crimped by the right pliers you get a safe connection that guarantees almost 100% of the linear breaking strain of the rig material. Due to the shape of the pliers as well as the five pressure points the sleeve is not stressed and is squeezed only in the middle leaving the two ends protruding with no sharp edges.
Hot Tip! Put your rig material twice through the sleeve to get the
best breaking strain. These Crimping Pliers have been used for all
hand-made Fox RAGE rigs.
