I uses that brand but 200lb mono what size of crimp do I uses?

[@anthonyhuntsinger3215]

Using a double sleeve is the line dia. double for a loop or is the line dia. best matched to the crimp?

[@TheTackleRoom]

line diameter. double 1.6mm sleeeve has the same inside diameter as a single 1.6mm sleeve but it has 2 spaces for line.

[@anthonyhuntsinger3215]

Hi, what size crimp is used when creating a loop in the leader, say for a hook. If the leader is .9mm, is the dia. doubled 1.8mm and a 2.0 crimp is needed?

[@gaffermarinellc9962]

No sir, you'd go with a 1.0 - 1.3 sleeve to accommodate the leader. The double sleeves are sized by the hole diameter.

@@gaffermarinellc9962 what if you are using a single barrel sleeve. Assuming its a .9mm. do i double the size?

[@TheTackleRoom]

@@jesseguzman2390 yes, that would be correct. Thanks

Hello friend, I hope you are well..! I have a leader that measures 0.847 ¿Which sleeve would you recommend that I use? Thanks in advance and I hope you continue to share valuable information for us.

Thank you!

wait so im trying to buy something from afw too some stainless steel wire but i got 210 pound wire which is 1.32 mm so should i get the 1.6mm sleeve

[@terrorbloc9529]

its the only one close to the size

[@TheTackleRoom]

Stainless cable in that diameter would use a 1.6, yes. If it’s single strand wire, you’d haywire twist it and not use a sleeve.
