Crimp size selection

Crimp size is not always obvious.  It would appear that a 60lb monofilament line with a 0.7mm diameter would need a 0.8mm bore crimp.  This is usually not the case.  The issue is likely to be a mixture of line diameter tolerances, crimp bore tolerances and the line not exactly circular.

In general, but it will depend on the type of line, strength and manufacturer, use the following as guidance.

- If in doubt, buy larger than you would expect.  For example, for 0.7mm line, buy a 1.0mm bore crimp.

- For 40/45lb monofilament buy 0.8mm.

- For 50/60lb monofilament buy 1.0mm.
- For 70/80lb monofilament buy 1.2mm.
- For 90/100lb monofilament buy 1.4mm.

The above advice is just that, advice.  You need to purchase the correct crimp for your requirement.
