Time for a new Crimper
« on: February 01, 2017, 09:57:40 PM »
This one scared the hell out of me.  I was playing around with a new leader and just as I was making a crimp.....CRACK.

Hey Ron, speaking of leaders...I saw Gemini came out with a new style bait clip that you can OTG cast with & will accommodate a bigger hook, without having to add the loop..
Also a good looking new style pulley design but not sure if I'd trust with alot of pressure being put on it. I think the donut design is where it's at though.   
I'm going to bring in a few of each next time I put a UK order together, which should be soon. I'll get you a couple to try out.

The bait clip looks interesting. If the original Gemini clips can stand up to my casting, then these should work even better as the plastic piece looks even beefier. A full pendulum cast with 8&bait might have issues, but my casting isn't up to that level.

The pulley swivel looks interesting, but will depend on the size and strength of the swivel. The pulley beads I have bought in the past were definitely heavy duty enough to use on a shark leader.
