Title: Re: 2-Part Question Post by solotripper on Apr 8th, 2014 at 12:51pm Kingfisher wrote on Apr 8th, 2014 at 5:06am:
KF, I got the smallest sleeves I could find from (You need to Login or Register They sent me their great catalog, which I highly recommend. The 1 leader sleeve inside diameter is .033" They sell the Knot 2 Kinky wire and have the different lb test diameters. #25 is .010", so theoretically you could get three strands of wire into the sleeve? I have some ideas about that, but until I get all the supplies, I can't try them out. That Leader-tec link guy is a fan of the double sleeve, but again, there much bigger than that fine titanium wire, but I have an idea about that too. He says/claims that IF a leader fails at the crimp it's because the crimp was bad to begin with assuming your catch was within it's load limits. Salt water offers more issues involving the choice of crimp sleeve material and it's chemical reaction to salt. IF I can get them to work, I'll send you some, and you can compare to your knotted ones. I have a way to test them, that doesn't involve pulling on them with pliers, I'll talk about that IF I can crimp them. Might be a complete flop, or maybe another option for people that have problems doing it your way. |
