Product Information
Full details
The Avid Carp Micro Anti Tangle Sleeves are designed for carp anglers who prioritize precise terminal tackle presentation and tangle-free casting. These sleeves are ideal for users of QC (Quick Change) swivels and metalware, providing a streamlined cover that ensures your hooklink maintains natural movement during the retrieve and underwater. While they offer superior stealth and performance, users should note that their compact design requires careful alignment when sliding them over larger swivel eyes.

FAQs
Can I use these with standard swivels?
These are optimized for QC swivels, but they can be used with standard swivels if the barrel diameter is similar.
Do I need to glue these in place?
No, they are designed to provide a secure friction fit without the need for additional adhesives.
Are these reusable?
Yes, they can be removed and reused multiple times as long as the material remains flexible and undamaged.
Will these sleeves affect my rig's presentation?
No, their micro design is intended to keep the hooklink away from the lead while maintaining a natural pivot point.
Are there different sizes available?
This specific model is the 'Micro' version, designed specifically for a low-profile, compact setup.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is difficult to slide over the swivel.
Lubricate the swivel eye with a small amount of saliva or water to help the sleeve glide into position.
Sleeve keeps sliding off the swivel during casting.
Ensure you are pushing the sleeve far enough over the barrel to create a tight friction fit; if the plastic has stretched, replace the sleeve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sleeves, thread your main line through the sleeve, followed by your chosen swivel or QC component. Once the rig is tied, pull the sleeve firmly over the eye of the swivel. Compatibility is best with Avid Carp QC metalware, including QC Lead Clips and QC Bag Stems. For maintenance, check the sleeves after every few sessions for signs of splitting or thinning caused by repeated contact with rocky or abrasive lake beds. Rinse with fresh water after fishing in silty or weedy conditions to prevent debris buildup inside the sleeve.
