Perfect size and decent quality

thanks

They work for what I used them for would buy again

First off, I purchased the .033" version and it allowed 15 lb. fluorocarbon to pass through twice to create the loop; for a perfect fit. I used these for "stinger hook" rig applications. Anyone with experience in making stinger hooks, should use these for the sliding adjustment loop on the lure hook assembly end. I still used the half-cinch knot option at that end. and these slide the half-cinch knot, nicely. It allows me to use a small orifice, bead as well to help grip to slide loop loose. I will probably purchase more in the future.

Easy to order, and just what I needed.

I've crimped mono to Fluor, mono to braid in a single barrel and they hold great. Made my own leaders and saved a lot of money. I really like them on my Fly rod. Passes through guides with no hold up. If you're looking for a fast way to make loops this is the answer. I am using a BOOMS fishing crimp that is perfect with these barrels. Using size #1. Read sizes and amounts in drop down to get correct amount.

This is just what I needed to make pop-gear for fishing. I can make strings for a couple of dollars instead of spending $25 for store bought. It is not as painful to lose a couple dollar strings due to snags. From experience it is easier to let her know that losing 3 strings of homemade pop-gear is still cheaper than buying fish from the store instead of losing $75 of pop-gear and trying to explain it.

Purchased to make walleye stinger hooks. 20lb test just hardly slides through doubled up, so it is perfect for the non crimped side of the stinger. A single knot holds it together just fine, any larger I would need to tie a double knot.

Purchase these to make stinger hooks mainly, worked great. But have other uses too.

I bought these to use for making wire leaders for pike and muskie fishing. They were bought in conjunction with AFW wire and attached using the AFW crimpers. My thought process at the time was to use the same brand of product, the recommended size wire and sleeve combination and thus improve the odds of success, as this was my first foray into constructing my own wire leaders. I added some quality hardware for my finishing touch and am happy to report that the end result was a very reliable finished product that performed very well. I have caught a very large number of big pike and several muskie (two in excess of 35 pounds) using the leaders I made with these crimp sleeves and have not had any sort of slippage or failures of any sort. I would certainly vouch for their performance when used with AFW branded wire and crimpers. I have no experience with them though on items from other manufacturers.

Make stinger hooks for fishing.
