When to use crimps vs. knots

[keeperreaper]

For all my tuna gear I use crimps. On the back of the crimp packaging it will tell you what size to use. It is a good guide. Also if you are using Jinkai 130 use Jinkai crimps. If you are using Moimoi use Moimoi crimps. They are not the same size. When crimping make sure you use the appropriate crimper notch and apply the appropriate pressure. Too much and the line will fail when you dont want it too and too little and it will slip. I use a very firm handshake pressure to do my crimps and have never had one fail. There are other tricks pm me and i'll explain in more detail. -Matt
