Sleeves are made of Copper or Brass and are available Nickel plated and Black oxidized. Sleeves can be fitted to wire, monofilament, and other various lines. When matching sleeves to wire, use single-barrel sleeves with an inside diameter of more than twice the wire diameter you are crimping. Burr-free nonabrasive finish combined with high strength and corrosion resistance makes AFW’s sleeves the preferred choice of professional leader, lure, and tackle manufacturers.

Perhaps the best leader wire available! Surflon Micro Supreme is miniature 49 strand stainless steel wire that is extremely flexible and kink resistant. This wire is ideal for many types of sport fishing because it can be knotted to your bait and line like monofilament, it provides greater flexibility and less stretch than monofilament, and is generally smaller diameter per pound test, and therefore, less visible in the water. Surflon Micro Supreme is extra limp and has virtually no memory or stretch. The wire enhances the action of live and artificial baits and adds a level of realism never before attainable using wire or other leader materials such as monofilament and fluorocarbon. This wire is ideal for presenting life-like bait at any depth and can fool tackle-shy Billfish while withstanding the violent razor-sharp strikes of King Mackerel and Shark. Excellent for casting flies and tempting the most discriminating toothy fish to the surface. No other wire offers more realistic action both above and below the water. Low elasticity and high sensitivity allow you to set hooks faster and with more accuracy. Attach using common monofilament knots such as the Albright Knot, Clinch Knot, Nail Knot, Perfection Loop, Surgeon’s Loop, or Uni-Knot.

Mighty-Mini Swivels and Snap Swivels are 100% stainless steel and are 3 x’s stronger than conventional brass swivels of the same size. Smart anglers know that terminal tackle can spook wary game fish. That’s why AFW engineered this line of compact, 100% stainless steel crane swivels to be smaller and stronger than the leading brands of swivels on the market. Now you can use swivels for your rigs, and snap swivels for attaching lures, that are less visible and significantly more powerful. Mighty-Mini Swivels also have less drag and provide enhanced rotation for more strikes. For decades, crane swivels were manufactured from brass because it is a relatively corrosion resistant material and easy to manufacture. Still today, the leading brand of mini swivels continues to use brass bodies with stainless steel rings that cannot match the strength of Mighty Mini Swivels. Recent advances in manufacturing enable us to bring you these revolutionary, smaller and stronger components. Mighty Mini Swivels are available in gunmetal black finish with and without stainless steel tournament-grade snaps for the ultimate in connection protection.
