These 0.6mm diameter crimps allow for easy rig construction with stiff materials, enabling the creation of extremely neat loops, perfect for chod rigs. The Krimps and Krimp tool have been designed to allow easy rig construction with stiff materials like Hybrid Stiff and Mouth Trap. Using Krimps allows 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 will suit stiff bristle materials like Mouth Trap and stiff coated braids, like our Hybrid Stiff, and the larger one is perfect for really thick materials (like 30lb plus mono). Please note: DO NOT USE WITH FLUOROCARBON.
This guide is for anglers looking to create consistent and neat fishing rigs using Korda Krimps. These 0.6mm crimps offer a reliable method for constructing loops and connections, particularly with stiff materials. A key benefit is the ability to create identical rig lengths every time. However, it's important to note that these crimps are NOT compatible with fluorocarbon lines.
