Quick take
A 500-pack of aluminum crimp sleeves for creating secure connections on monofilament leaders.
These Hi-Seas Grand Slam crimp sleeves are single-barrel aluminum tubes in a 1.0 mm size, sold as a bulk pack of 500. They join monofilament leaders to hooks, swivels and rings when pressed with a hand swager, as an alternative to tying knots. Sleeve diameter is matched to the line, so pick the size to suit the leader you rig for saltwater work.
Best for
- Saltwater anglers building custom leaders
- Crimping mono lines up to 60 lb test
- Anglers who rig their own tackle
Skip if
- You use knots instead of crimps
- You don't build your own leaders
Strengths
- High-grade aluminum compresses smoothly without cracking
- Corrosion-resistant for saltwater use
- 500-piece pack lasts through many rigging sessions
- Creates stronger connections than some knots when done right
Trade-offs
- Requires a crimping tool (sold separately)
