The Rigging Station Staple

Crimp sleeves are consumables. You go through them. Having the right size on hand when you need to rig leaders is the difference between fishing and scrambling. Billfisher packs 50 sleeves per bag at prices starting at $5.99, so stocking multiple sizes is practical.

Aluminum construction is the standard for saltwater crimp sleeves. It compresses cleanly, holds its shape under load, and resists saltwater corrosion. Six sizes cover the range from light inshore fluorocarbon to heavy offshore mono and wire leaders.

Aluminum Construction

Aluminum is the standard material for saltwater crimp sleeves. It compresses cleanly and evenly with a proper crimping tool, holds its crimped shape under load, and resists saltwater corrosion better than brass or copper alternatives.

Six Sizes

1.0mm for light leaders, 1.3mm and 1.6mm for mid-range, 1.9mm and 2.2mm for heavy leaders, 2.5mm for the heaviest applications. The range covers standard inshore through offshore leader diameters.

50 Per Pack

50 sleeves per pack at value pricing means you can stock multiple sizes without overspending. Having the correct sleeve size available when rigging eliminates compromise and delay.

How to Use Billfisher Crimp Sleeves

1. Select sleeve size to match your leader diameter (the leader should fit snugly)

2. Thread the leader through the sleeve

3. Form your loop around a thimble or directly

4. Thread the tag end back through the sleeve

5. Position the sleeve in your crimper and compress fully

6. Inspect and pull test the finished crimp

Specs & Common Questions

Brand Billfisher
Type Crimp Sleeves
Material Aluminum
Sizes 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.2, 2.5mm
Quantity 50 per pack
Price Range $5.99 - $8.49
What size do I need? +
Match the sleeve inner diameter to your leader diameter. The leader (doubled through the sleeve) should fit snugly but not be forced. Too loose and the crimp slips; too tight and the leader material is damaged. Our crimping guide covers size matching.
How do these compare to Grand Slam sleeves? +
Grand Slam sleeves offer more sizes (down to 0.8mm) and heavier options (up to 3.3mm). Billfisher covers the most common range at a lower price point. Both are aluminum and perform identically when properly crimped.
What crimper do I need? +
Any standard oval-jaw crimper works. The Diamond Crimper ($46.99) is a solid mid-range option. The AFW Crimper ($17.99) works for budget applications. Never use pliers.
Wire or mono? +
These sleeves work on both wire cable and monofilament leaders. The aluminum compresses consistently on either material. Our leader guide covers when to use wire versus mono.
How many crimps per leader? +
Standard practice is two crimps per connection for safety. Some anglers use a single crimp on lighter leaders. Always double crimp on heavy offshore leaders. Our crimping guide covers technique.
Do these corrode in saltwater? +
Aluminum resists saltwater corrosion better than brass or copper. Rinse your rigged leaders with fresh water after use for maximum longevity. Our leader FAQ covers leader maintenance.
