JINKAI Fluorocarbon/Monofiliment Leader Crimping Sleeves 50 Pack Mono Fluoro Leader Crimp Sleeve

My buddies and I use the Jinkai “G” size sleeves with 200 pound Ande mono leader. The pack of Jinkai G size sleeves I bought in 2021 worked well and easily slipped on the leader. The pack of Jinkai G size sleeves I purchased in 2023 wouldn’t allow the same Ande 200 lb mono to slide through the sleeve. I also know and use the trick in which you trim the line at a pointy angle. It didn’t work. I suspect the sleeves were made improperly (ID was smaller) or the mono I was using diameter varied throughout the skein. I’m trying to figure it out. I suspect the mono is off. I’ll update laterUPDATE: there is nothing wrong with these Jinkai sleeves. I suspected that the Inner diameter was off. I was wrong. It was the 200 pound spool of Ande leader material that was thicker towards the middle of the skein. All the packs of Jinkai sizes G, SH, and H fit easily and worked flawlessly on the spool of Trilene Big Game 200 pound leader. I’d say Ande fishing line has inconsistent diameter and you should buy with caution if line diameter is an issue,

This is the best quality fishing stuff you can buy

Fast on time shipping. Jinkai Crimping big heavy made it easier and looks very nice.

The picture led me to believe I was getting 5 boxes for the price I paid ,but only one box showed up, I try not to let my guard down now. Lee
