This clever Krimp Tool will allow us all to reach brand-new heights of neatness in rig creation.
The Krimps and Krimp tool have been designed to allow easy rig construction with stiff materials. In particular, Korda are really excited about the potential to create extremely neat loops for chod rigs. Not only this, but using Krimps will allow you to create chod rigs that are exactly the same length each and every time.
There are two sizes of Krimp available, which have been designed to suit different materials. The smaller one (0.6mm) will suit stiff bristle materials like Mouth Trap and stiff coated braids, like Korda's Hybrid Stiff, and the larger one (0.7mm) is perfect for really thick materials (like 30lb plus mono).
The product development team went to extreme lengths to make sure that the Krimps and Krimp tools were exactly right, having to overcome various problems along the way. The complexity of getting the tool and Krimps just right has meant that this has been a long development, but were sure that its been well worth the wait. Judging from the interest that you've shown in this product range, it's become one of Korda's most popular products!
Crimping is a great way to achieve neat, strong connections, especially when you are using stiffer and/or thicker materials which can be hard to knot effectively – plus it allows you to get the hook link length right every time, which is especially useful for chod rigs. These double-barrel Krimps are designed to be used with a variety of different hook link materials, and when used in combination with our Krimp Tool, they will give you a connection that you can rely on every time. You need to ensure that you use a suitable size of Krimp for your choice of hook link – if the Krimp is too big it can slip – and the Small 0.6mm version is perfect for use with materials like Mouth Trap, the 25lb version of Boom, or even stiff coated braids such as Hyrbid. The Large 0.7mm Krimp is for really thick materials, such as 35lb Boom or very heavy mono. They come supplied in a neat little box with a sliding lid, which helps prevent spillages, with 50 Krimps in each pack.
