AFW American Fishing Wire Single Barrel Crimp Sleeves #2/.047 Black - 1,000 pc

Premium AFW Single Barrel Crimp Sleeves

AFW offers copper or brass single barrel crimp sleeves with durable finishes including nickel plated and black oxidized. The burr-free, nonabrasive surface helps you form a clean, secure crimp while resisting corrosion in a variety of fishing environments. Each package contains 1,000 sleeves, making it convenient for large tackle projects.

These sleeves are designed to fit a wide range of lines, from wire to monofilament and other materials. With an inside diameter large enough for mono and larger diameters, they are well suited for freshwater and saltwater leaders alike, giving you flexible options for building dependable connections.

To use, insert the braid or leader fully into the sleeve, then squeeze with needle nose pliers or a crimping tool to create a tight grip. For best results, pick a sleeve whose inside diameter is more than twice your line diameter.
