Korda Spare Krimps
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.
These double-barrel Krimps are designed to be used with a variety of different hook link materials, and when used in combination with our Krimp Tool, they will give you a connection that you can rely on every time.
You need to ensure that you use a suitable size of Krimp for your choice of hook link – if the Krimp is too big it can slip – and the Small 0.6mm version is perfect for use with materials like Mouth Trap, the 25lb version of Boom, or even stiff coated braids such as Hyrbid.
The Large 0.7mm Krimp is for really thick materials, such as 35lb Boom or very heavy mono. The newest addition to the range, the X-Small 0.5mm version, is perfect for using with 15lb & 20lb Boom, or any other hook link material which is suitable for crimping (must have very low, or no stretch) and has a diameter between 0.40mm and 0.50mm.
They come supplied in a neat little box with a sliding lid, which helps prevent spillages, with 50 Krimps in each pack.

Korda Krimping 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 Krimp Tool alleviates that issue as it is purposely designed for use with the two sizes of Krimp that we sell.
As long as the Krimps are matched to an appropriate diameter of hook link material, the Krimp Tool will allow you to create the perfect connection every time.
It is made from stainless 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 pack also contains 10 x Small and 10 x Large Krimps.

Korda Mini Krimp 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.

Thinking Angler Compact Crimper
There’s no doubt that crimping forms extremely neat, strong, and reliable connections – with the benefit of being able to duplicate hook link length and loop sizes with absolute precision every time.
This makes crimping ideal for constructing a range of specialist rigs, including Chod and Hinged hook sections, booms, and loops.
We have rigorously tested and can wholly recommend using the following TA products with the TA Compact Crimp Tool and our 0.60mm crimps – ‘Recoil’ stiff link material in 25lb and 30lb, ‘Think Link’ (low-memory mono) in both 25lb and 30lb, ‘Tint Link’ 25lb, or the new ‘Crimp Link’ Fluorocarbon hook links.
When compressing crimps down always make sure that the crimp is seated squarely in the recess, and you feel the crimp crunch down securely.
Always check that the crimp has compressed fully and no flat spots have been formed upon compression.
We recommend using the larger slot for the higher diameter materials such as 0.55mm, 0.60mm and 0.65mm materials, and using the smaller slot for 0.50mm materials.
Always test your hooklink after crimping to check that you have got a secure connection on your chosen material.
The 0.60mm crimps included with the crimp tool are ideal for use with any of the recommended hooklinks, having been rigorously tested on monofilament materials between 0.50mm and 0.60mm diameter.
TA Compact Crimper is supplied with 25 x 0.60mm crimps.
Compact Crimper dimensions: 117mm (l) x 50mm (w)
Thinking Anglers Crimps 0.6mm
These 0.60mm TA Crimps have been carefully specified to offer optimum performance.
In fact, we were shocked by the variance in strength and consistency across different crimps – there was a huge difference in strength.
Rest assured these are the best there are, and will work with a range of hooklink materials, forming strong and reliable connections.
We recommend using crimps with ‘Recoil’ stiff link material in 25lb and 30lb, ‘Think Link’ (low-memory mono) in both 25lb and 30lb, ‘Tint Link’ 25lb, or the new ‘Crimp Link’ Fluorocarbon hook links.
Each tin contains 100 x 0.60mm crimps.
