Korda Krimps and Krimps Tool

Korda Krimps and Krimps Tool

Crimping is a great way to achieve neat, strong connections, especially when you are using stiffer and/or thicker materials which can be hard to knot effectively – plus it allows you to get the hook link length right every time, which is especially useful for chod rigs. Getting it just right though when you do crimp something, so that it won’t slip or weaken the material, is always a concern, but this Mini Krimp Tool alleviates that issue as it is purposely designed for use with the three sizes of Krimp that we sell – the jaws are marked with XS, S and L to denote the slot that should be used for each size. As long as the Krimps are matched to an appropriate diameter of hook link material, the Mini Krimp Tool will allow you to create the perfect connection every time.

It is made from mild steel with rubberised handles to allow you to get a good grip and ensure the right amount of pressure is applied to a Krimp, plus it features a line cutter in its jaws which is useful when constructing rigs. The Mini Krimp Tool is very compact so will easily fit into your Tackle Box or similar, but still allows you to get enough leverage to form the perfect crimped connection every time. 

There are three sizes of Krimp available, which have been designed to suit different materials.

The smaller one will suit stiff bristle materials like Mouth Trap and stiff coated braids, like our Hybrid Stiff, and the larger one is perfect for really thick materials (like 30lb plus mono).

The product development team went to extreme lengths to make sure that the Krimps and Krimp tools were exactly right, having to overcome various problems along the way.

The complexity of getting the tool and Krimps just right has meant that this has been a long development, but we’re sure that it’s been well worth the wait.

Judging from the interest that you’ve shown in this product range, it’s about to become one of Korda’s most popular products!
