Interesting results Chris. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Tom. Will continue testing sone other brands and let you know the results👍
Just finished the video, the results are very reassuring. Thanks for the content 🤘🏻
Thanks for watching. 🤘
Awesome video Chris! Very intresting as well as suprising results.
Thanks Bill. Will continue my testing and report my findings soon💪
It was if you read my mind right down to the test line. Thank you, well done.
Been crimping a while now and I love it. I’ve been apprehensive to move to 80 lb leaders but now that I’ve done it I am really glad I did. I no longer worry about if my leader is nicked and going to break on a big fish. Crimping saves time and looks clean.
Great Video, Thanks for sharing it Chris
Thanks for watching David👊
AWESOME Video Cool test Thank You 🤘🏻
Thanks Chris👍. Will continue to test other brands of crimps and see if I can find one that outperforms the others.
Hell yeah Chris. Your getting good at the RUclips I really enjoy the lives.
Thanks Jay👍. Can’t wait until fall!!
Great info and well done video, love this kinda stuff, do like how clean it is. I was expecting higher numbers as well but pretty content with the Palomar. Keep the info coming Chris, thanks for sharing!
I’m happy with the Palomar as well Skip but I love the clean look of the crimp and it’s definitely a time saver when rigging up a bunch of rigs. To be fair it was my very first day of crimping and I’ve been tying palomars just about every week for 30 yrs. I expect that with a little experience these crimps will be stronger than the palomar and my rig tying time will be cut in half. Going to test hi-seas crimps next and see how they do.
Yes Iv been talking with you on messenger as well, Skip Stewart !
Come on Skip. I know exactly who your are buddy. We’ve been friends now going on 6 months. Our channels are on similar trajectories and we are friends with a lot of the same guys I our community as well. If we lived closer we’d probably be fishing buddies.👍
🤣 Right on Chris, no doubt about it, if I’m ever in Texas mI calling you up and if you’re ever in Ohio there’s a seat in the boat for ya bud!
Awesome brother thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
Thanks Dave👍. I had a ton of guys interested in this video so I hope it helps a few. I will keep testing and playing around with these and see if I like them for sure.
Definitely impressed with the strength of the palomar knot!
I was surprised by that too chris since everyone said the crimps are much stronger. I will continue to test some different brand crimps and see if I can find one that outperforms the rest.
When searching info on crimping I found a video from my buddy El Gato 😁. Exactly what I needed to see. I’ve got the pliers and aluminum ovals coming, so I’m officially making the switch. Bon Peche my friend 🤘🤘
Wow I’ve gone big time! Lol. Your going to love crimping buddy!!
Update: After testing my first 3 crimps on both 80lb and 100lb leader, there were no failures. Lines broke first. Extremely happy. Thanks for the advice brother!!!
Great video!
Rule of thumb, use crimp sleeves the same diameter as the line, you should have shown that the line slipped on the crimps because the sleeves were the wrong size. Example 1.2mm line use 1.2mm sleeves = no slip. Try it out use grandslam or momoi sleeves for best results
Everything shown in this test broke the leader 1/4" from the crimp sleeve. only had one brand of crimp slipping and i left that one out of the video. been running high seas crimps for the last year and a half and have had 0 failures fishing hard every week.
Very awesome video Chris.... and its amazing how the plomar knot was just about as strong in 3 testing as the the top crimp. I think a crimp is strong if you dont dig into the string and depends which strength string you use. On big rivers i use 80lb heavy structure slime line leader, because it was given to me. I also use the 50lb berkley big game in regular conditions.
I was surprised too Matt. I’m betting the crimps get stronger with experience👍
Good stuff brother. I have been debating on jumping on the crimping wagon for some time now.
We’ll it’s faster and cleaner no doubt. I figured the strength of the crimps would have been noticeably higher but to be fair I’ve been tying a palomar just about every week for 30 yrs and this was my first day to crimp. I also went with inexpensive crimping tool and off brand crimps which might have made a difference. I will test the hi-seas crimps next and compare results soon.
Great testing experiment buddy👌👌 and of course the music is awesome😁😁👍👍
Thanks Brother! We need to get back out there and do some fishing together👍
awesome video, thanks and shared you out ...
Thanks Rick! Will continue the testing and report more findings soon👍
Great video brother
Thanks Lance and thanks for your help buddy💪
Good test.
Thanks brother👊
Awesome bro. Ive thought about crimping.
Give em a try. I’m loving them so far.
good info to know👍
Thanks Chris. I will keep playing around with these and see if it’s something that sticks. So far I like that they are faster and cleaner. Was surprised that the strength test was so similar but I will get sone more name brand crimps and continue testing.
Great video Amigo! I would have thought crimping was superior.
You and me both. Could be because I used inexpensive off brand crimps and tool. Will buy some different brands of crimps and retest.
Good information buddy
Thanks brother! I really like the crimps so I’m going to keep testing a few more brands and see if I can get them to outperform the others. Clean and fast once you get em figured out. I think I can get them a little stronger with experience
Great information
Thank you. Will continue to test other brands of crimps and report back.
Very nice brotha
Thanks Clayton.. will continue to test these on different brands until i am fully confident in them. will keep you posted.
That is why I have been crimping for awhile now!!
Going to try a few more brands of crimps and report my findings.
@@ElGatoAzulTV good deal,if you find one a little bit better let me,if I find one I will get back to you!
@@whiskerdreams7146 thanks Brother👊. Will let you know👍
Good job brother. I was really surprised the crimps didn't out do the knot. I fish 100# leader sometimes and its a pain to tie.
I was too Matt but they were almost identical. I will order some different brand crimps this week and see if I can get better results.
Love the hat buddy.
Thanks Brother👊
You should test the Double Pitzen vs these.
I rock with the polymer
That’s what I’ve always used as well but I found the crimps to be faster and cleaner giving the rigs a factory look which I liked.
Imma have to. Check that out
Huh, okay. I tested the Palomar, Trilene, my longtime goto the Uni knot, and crimps on mono, and I had consistent results of the crimp being stronger. The Trilene was very close behind the crimp, and the Palomar was 3rd place. My long used Uni knot…..it ahhhh, yeah, it was unhappy.
We’ll I’m going to buy some more brands and continue my testing.
@@ElGatoAzulTV The really sad thing is, even after all of my testing, and knowing the Uni knot is the weakest of all, I still use it. I’ve tied it so long, and had such good luck with it, I tie it without thinking.
I never have an issue with my Palomar either John so this isn’t really to try and resolve an issue I was having. I was told that this is faster and cleaner for us guys that are tying 6-10 rigs at a time and I did find that this was faster and it also gave the rigs a clean factory look which I liked. I will keep playing around with crimps and see how I like them this big fish season.
Hadn’t finished the video yet but I’m hoping crimping comes out on top because we crimp 😂
It was dead even buddy but to be fair this was my first day crimping and I’ve been tying the palomar for 30 yrs. Hope your doing better from your boat accident amigo. What crimp sleeves and crimping tool do y’all use? I suspect I can get slightly higher numbers with a different brand crimp like hi-seas. Will continue to test and see if I improve.👍
@@ElGatoAzulTV I use aluminum double barrel crips and the crimpers look same as yours. Pair with 80Lb ande monster
if you crimp correctly it should fuse the mono together
I’m curious to see your results.
Video just dropped. Results are out buddy👍
I wonder if it’s worth the cost of crimping materials after seeing the results
The time im saving makes it worth it for me. It’s a much cleaner looking rig to which most of the guys that crimp really like. It’s not for everyone but it’s definitely an improved rig in my eyes. I’m betting my crimps get stronger with experience and I know I will get faster as well. Makes rigging up a bunch of rigs before tournaments and travel trips much quicker and easier. Probably not for the casual angler but after speaking to most of my high level tournament buddies it turns out 75% of the are already crimping.
Most people get max 22lb how did you get this number?
The Conell knot works best if your line won't go through the eye doubled up.
Thanks brother! Don’t forget to hit subscribe and help us grow!🍀🍀🍀
Pounds or kilograms brothers?
But wait, the 80lb mono didn't break at 80lb?
And I would like to see the knots/crimps before strength tested
The leader will always break at the knot or the crimp Mike. That is where the weakest points are due to the stress put on those areas during knot tying or crimping. If I was testing just the mono strength it would be up around 80 but this wasn’t a mono test. This was the crimp vs knot test and the breaks were where I had anticipated. Next test I will show the knots and the crimps for you.
@@ElGatoAzulTV I’d also like to see the before and after of the knots and crimps.
@@warren_stock thanks for watching. will show that on the next one Warren. More testing coming soon brother👍
Did you left loops on the crimp?
The line breaking everytime at 1/4" from the crimp is suspect.
Is that due to elongation inside the crimp ,and the 1/4" piece of line left was injured by the crimp and pulled outside by the force ?
Nice test,but the crimp should be much stronger ,and the carp anglers can atest to that.
Thanks for any explanation!
@@andreipetrescu603 left a loop at crimp but it was not breaking at loop. That area is double as strong since it double the line. the line closest to crimp has the least amount of stretch which is where is should break. If it was breaking at the crimp it would be over crimped but since it broke 1/4” from the crimp it broke where it should break. No stretch = lower break weight
@@ElGatoAzulTV Ok,thanks?
This is a big surprise, because,in theory ,crimps should give close to 100 percent line strenght.
I should try some testing myself ,but carp fishin uses max 0.5 mm mono.
Tight lines!
I only crimp line over 100lbs
