FAQs
What sizes of crimps does the tool support?
The Trakker Crimp Tool supports 0.6mm, 0.7mm, and 0.8mm crimps.
Does it come with any crimps to start?
Yes, the kit includes 10 x 0.6mm and 10 x 0.7mm crimps.
Can I use the tool to cut main line?
While it features an integrated side cutter designed for boom material, it is best suited for terminal tackle components rather than heavy main lines.
How do I prevent the tool from rusting?
The tool has a PTFE anti-corrosive coating, but you should wipe it dry after bankside use and store it in a dry environment.
Is the tool suitable for all rig materials?
It is designed for standard boom materials; always ensure your material diameter matches the available crimp sizes.
Troubleshooting
Crimp is not holding the line securely
Ensure you are using the correct slot for the crimp size and apply more consistent pressure to complete the compression.
Line appears frayed after crimping
Check that you are not over-compressing; use the correct slot size for the specific diameter of line and crimp used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your boom material is compatible with the 0.6mm, 0.7mm, or 0.8mm crimp sizes provided in the kit. When using the tool, apply firm, even pressure to ensure a secure lock without damaging the line. For maintenance, keep the tool dry after use; although it features a PTFE anti-corrosive coating, wiping it down with a light machine oil occasionally will maintain smooth operation of the hinge. Store in a cool, dry place within your tackle bag to protect the rubber grips from extreme temperature fluctuations.
