Sleeves you know will hold
December 15, 2020
I'm sure you can find some cheaper sleeves elsewhere but when you're a serious fisherman and looking to hook some serious fish it's best to spend a few extra cents to get the tried and true equipment. So long as you're halfway competent at crimping these sleeves will hold. I know when I use AFW sleeves if something happens it will because of an error on my part and not a failure of the sleeve.

I use these for the titanium leader material rather than trying to tie knots. They work great with a triple pass through.

They Slip
April 18, 2018
I purchased some nylon-coated cable leader, and I highly recommend going with the double sleeves. These slipped, even if I used two crimps.
Pros
- Good to use if you're crimping on a weight, and you want it break off on the bottom so you salvage your rig. (don't know if that's a pro)
By Seth

Exactly do what they need to do

Bought these to use with 20lbs and 40lbs steel leader material and they are absolutely perfect match for the diameter of the both. A firm and durable sleeve you can rely on when playing for biggies.

What is the smallest size do you recommend for single strand 40lb AFW titanium leader , and what kind of crimper should i use thank you ...
1 Answer
Jeff,
The smallest single barrel sleeves you can get away with would be J02B-B (AFW-0040) for the 40lb wire doubled up. As for a crimper, the Momoi Mini Hand Crimper (MOM-0266) will work well with those sleeves. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

your leader has a diameter of approx .23", so even the largest sleeve may be too small for this size wire leader

what sleeve do i use for your titanium leader wire
1 Answer
Normally the titanium leader wire is not crimped using sleeves. You would normally haywire twist any single strand wire, but in this case this is very flexible wire that lets you tie a knot.
