| Crimps hold on big fish. Been building them for years. for myself and other using 150 lb Ande fluoro and 1.6 mm double barrel crimps and never had a failure. For the 130 lb you will be better off with the 1.3mm crimps. Here's a link to show you how its done.

| Marc Thorpe's method is basically the same one I use. I prefer the double barrel copper crimps to the oval aluminum that he is using. Not sure about his crimping method. Its hard to see on the video but the link I put up in an earlier post shows the proper method. The loop protector makes the big difference because it eliminates wear from the swivel or snap rubbing on fluorocarbon loop.

I just tied some 130# mono leaders for trolling tonight with this same knot, way nicer to tie with mono compared to the heavier fluoro. Pull the loop tight and a little dab of glue and hold. |
