Korda 0.5mm X-Small Krimps are tiny, stealthy sleeves built for fine leaders and micro rigs. They give you a tidy finish with low bulk, helping your presentation stay sharp on pressured waters.
-
Size and profile: 0.5mm X-Small sleeves keep bulk to a minimum, perfect for micro hooks and delicate connections. The small diameter sits flat and neat on the bed when crimped correctly, lending a tidy, professional look to your rig.
-
Material and construction: Small, precise aluminium or alloy sleeves offer a smooth bore for easy threading and neat seating. The sleeves are manufactured to a consistent size, so crimps behave predictably across batches.
-
Applications: Ideal for micro leaders, fine hooklinks, loop-to-loop joins, and small swivel attachments. They excel in zig rigs and delicate surface presentations where low bulk is essential.
-
Crimping performance: Used with a crimp tool, these crimps provide a secure hold and a clean finish that sits flush on the bed. With proper technique, you’ll achieve repeatable strength and a neat rig every time.
-
Finish and security: Optional varnish or Super Wrap can be applied to further secure the crimp and resist wear in tougher conditions, preserving a tidy appearance over time.
-
Supply and storage: Supplied in tidy packs so you can carry spares and adapt to different rigs. Keep crimps in small plastic boxes to prevent loss and make organisation easy at the workbench or on the bank.
-
Care and maintenance: Inspect crimps before use for signs of deformity. Trim excess material neatly to avoid sharp edges that could snag bait floss or PVA. Replace any crimp that looks crushed or damaged to keep rigs reliable.
-
Who it suits: Tackle-builders crafting fine leaders, Zig and surface anglers needing tiny, stealthy joins, and anyone chasing tidy, low-bulk rigs on pressured waterways.

Why anglers choose Korda Krimps: They deliver a clean, low-profile finish and remain reliable when crimped correctly, helping you present rigs with precision and a subtle, professional look that stands up to scrutiny on hard-fished venues.

Note on technique: Pair these 0.5mm sleeves with the right crimp tool and jaws, and practice crimps on spare line to ensure consistent compression. Use liners when crimping braid into small sleeves to boost grip, and trim carefully to keep edges smooth for bait floss or PVA.
