Product Information
Full details
The Evolve Silicone Sleeves (EVO074) are designed for anglers who prioritize efficient, tangle-free rig management and superior concealment. These precision-cut sleeves are ideal for shrouding swivels, links, and loops, helping to maintain a streamlined presentation underwater. While these sleeves offer excellent durability and camouflage, they are specifically sized at 3mm by 25mm, which may limit their use to smaller tackle components rather than heavy-duty connection points.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of these sleeves?
Each sleeve is 3mm in diameter and 25mm in length.
How many sleeves are included in one pack?
Each pack contains fifteen individual silicone sleeves.
Are these sleeves reusable?
Yes, provided the silicone hasn't been cut or stretched beyond its elastic limit, they can be reused on different rig setups.
Will the dark camo color fade over time?
The silicone is manufactured with the color throughout, so it is highly resistant to fading even after prolonged underwater use.
Can I use these for pop-up rigs?
Yes, they are suitable for any rig where you need to shroud a connection to prevent tangles.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is difficult to slide over the swivel
Apply a tiny amount of water or non-toxic lubricant to the eye of the swivel to help the silicone sleeve slide on smoothly.
Sleeve keeps slipping off during use
Ensure the sleeve is pushed fully over the widest part of the connection point to create a secure friction fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces line tangle issues significantly
- Pre-cut length eliminates manual trimming
- High-quality, durable silicone material
- Dark camo color provides excellent underwater stealth
Cons
- Fixed 3mm diameter may not fit thicker specialized swivels
- Not suitable for heavy-duty big game tackle
- Fifteen pieces may not be enough for long-term heavy usage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply thread the sleeve onto your line before attaching your hook link or swivel. Once the rig is assembled, slide the sleeve down over the connection point until it creates a snug fit.
Compatibility: The 3mm internal diameter is compatible with most standard size 8 and size 10 swivels and quick-change clips.
Care: Silicone is inherently resistant to rot and UV degradation. However, it is recommended to inspect the sleeves after each session for signs of wear, particularly if fishing over abrasive gravel or snaggy terrain. If a sleeve becomes loose or damaged, replace it to ensure your rig remains tangle-free.
