Default Where the heck can I get some wire crimps for pull pull cable?

As the above thread says, "Sporting Goods Store", in the fishing section or to drill a little deeper look in the salt water gear. Berkly has some very nice plastic coated stainless leader and right along with it they sell the matching connector sleeves. Make sure you match the sleeves with the leader size. I use the 30 lb stuff. very nice looking and easy to use. One other tip: When you crimp down on the sleeves to lock the cable do not crimp too hard, if you do it will cut the cable strands decreasing the tension strength of the cable, use just enough pressure to flatten it. Try the crimping pressure on a short piece to get a feel for it.
