Quick take
Professional-grade copper crimp sleeves for rigging big game leaders and saltwater connections.
The AFW #10 double barrel crimp sleeve comes as a 15-pack of black sleeves, about 0.096 inch across the opening. Each of its two chambers holds one strand, so a leader runs side by side rather than lying over itself. It is rated for 480 to 600 lb of braided wire and 250 to 400 lb of monofilament, which suits anglers rigging heavier leaders for bass, walleye or saltwater fishing.
