Tronixpro Double Crimps
The Heavy-Duty Standard: Maximum Security for Specimen Angling.
When you are targeting the giants of the deep—be it a powerhouse Porbeagle Shark, a massive Common Skate, or a “strap” Conger Eel—your connections cannot afford a single millimetre of slip. The Tronixpro Double Crimps are the definitive choice for constructing heavy-duty traces where knots simply aren’t an option. Unlike single crimps, the “figure-of-eight” double design allows you to pass the line through two separate chambers, providing a vastly superior grip and ensuring the tag end is locked tight.
At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that working with heavy mono (150lb+) and multi-strand wire is difficult. These crimps are manufactured from soft brass, which is the professional’s choice. Soft brass requires less pressure to deform, allowing the crimp to “mold” around the line. This creates a rock-solid bond while significantly reducing the risk of “pinching” or damaging the integrity of the line.
Why Double Crimps are Essential for Specimen Hunters:
-
“Figure-of-Eight” Security: The double-barrel design keeps the two lengths of line separate within the crimp. This prevents them from crossing over and creates a much more symmetrical and secure compression than a standard round crimp.
-
Soft Brass Construction: Engineered to be malleable. It provides a “cushioned” grip on heavy monofilament and fluorocarbon, ensuring you maintain the breaking strain of your expensive leader material.
-
Wire & Heavy Mono Compatible: Whether you are building wire “bite” traces for Tope or thick mono rubbing leaders for Blue Sharks, these crimps provide the industrial-strength connection required.
-
Wide Range of Sizes: Available in multiple diameters to ensure a “snug” fit for your specific line. A well-fitted crimp is a strong crimp.

Where to Use Them (Pro Recommendations)
-
Shark Rubbing Leaders: Use these to create the loops on 200lb–400lb mono leaders for Blue, Porbeagle, and Mako sharks. They provide a streamlined connection that won’t catch on the rod guides.
-
Conger Eel Traces: When fishing the deep wrecks or rock marks for “Snakes,” use double crimps to secure your 150lb+ hook lengths. A knot in line this thick is bulky and prone to slipping—a double crimp is permanent.
-
Uptiding for Tope: Perfect for making wire “bite” traces. The double crimp ensures the wire won’t pull through the swivel eye when a Tope is spinning and thrashing at the side of the boat.
-
Heavy-Duty Rig Bodies: Ideal for building “Big Game” style rigs where you need to fix a heavy-duty swivel or beads in place on a thick rig body.
Gerry’s Tip: For the absolute strongest connection, always use a dedicated pair of crimping pliers with the correct sized “cup.” Pliers with a flat surface can crush the line and create a weak point. When crimping, leave a tiny “flare” at both ends of the brass barrel—this prevents the sharp edge of the crimp from cutting into the line under extreme tension!
