The Daiwa Prorex Crimping Pliers are perfect for making your own leaders, traces, etc. They are ideal for making steel and fluorocarbon leader for predators such as pike and zander. The pliers have five pressure points at the jaws to guarantee optimal crimping and to prevent the line from slipping when fighting a big fish. The pliers will also prevent damaging the line at the crimp edge. The Daiwa Prorex Crimping Pliers feature an anti-slip handle with the end of both handles marked with self-luminous material so you can easily find them if your were to drop them in the dark.
