Product Information
Full details
The Fox Predator Wire Crimps are an essential component for predator anglers seeking a dependable and secure connection for their rigs. Designed specifically for the Fox Rage Predator 49-Strand Steel Wire, these crimps provide a robust alternative to traditional knots that can often compromise the integrity of wire materials. While they offer superior strength and reliability, they require the use of a dedicated crimping tool to ensure proper compression and safety under load.

FAQs
Are these crimps compatible with braided fishing line?
No, these are specifically engineered for the Fox Rage Predator 49-Strand Steel Wire.

How many crimps come in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 individual crimps.
What is the maximum weight rating for these crimps?
These crimps are rated for loads up to 18kg.
Can I reuse the crimps?
No, crimps are designed for single use. Once crimped, they cannot be safely reused and should be replaced if a rig is dismantled.
Troubleshooting
Wire pulling out of the crimp
Ensure you are using the correct crimping tool and applying sufficient, even pressure without crushing the wire strands.
Visible rust or corrosion on the crimp
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use in salt or brackish water and allow it to air dry before storing.
Wire kinking during installation
Check that the wire is not twisted inside the crimp before applying pressure; ensure a straight alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve a secure hold, thread your 49-strand wire through the crimp, pass it through your swivel or hook eye, and loop it back through the crimp. Position the crimp precisely before using the Fox Rage Predator Crimping Tool to apply even pressure. Avoid over-crimping, which can damage the wire strands. Regarding compatibility, these are intended solely for Fox Rage Predator 49-Strand Steel Wire. After each fishing session, rinse your crimped rigs in fresh water to remove any salt or silt, then store them in a dry tackle box to maintain the integrity of the black nickel finish.
