AFW American Fishing Wire Single Barrel Crimp Sleeves #9/.132" Black – 1,000 pcs

AFW Single Barrel Crimp Sleeves: Strength, Versatility, and Reliability

AFW's American Fishing Wire Single Barrel Crimp Sleeves deliver dependable connections for a wide range of fishing setups. Made from copper or brass, with optional nickel plating or black oxidized finishes, these sleeves balance strength with resistance to wear and corrosion—qualities favored by professional leader builders and lure makers alike.

With an inside diameter designed to accommodate mono and larger line diameters, these sleeves are well suited for freshwater and saltwater applications. The burr-free, nonabrasive finish reduces friction on the line and helps preserve knot and braid integrity during crimping.

Key benefits and compatibility

• Materials and finishes: copper or brass construction, with nickel plating or black oxidized finishes for durability and a clean look.
• Line compatibility: suitable for wire, monofilament, and a range of other line types used in fishing rigs.
• Size guidance: choose an inside diameter that is more than twice the diameter of the line you are crimping for a secure fit.
• Ease of use: insert the line, then crimp with pliers to form a tight connection without fuss.

How to use for best results

• Prepare your leader or wire by trimming square and aligning it with the sleeve for full insertion.
• Gently seat the line inside the sleeve, then apply steady, even pressure with a crimping tool to ensure consistent holding power.
• Check the crimp and inspect for burrs; store sleeves in a dry space to maintain finish and performance.

Packaging notes: Each package contains 1,000 pieces, making these sleeves a practical choice for shop inventories or regular tackle-building projects. While they provide strong hold and corrosion resistance, actual performance will depend on your specific line type, matching sleeve size, and crimping technique.
