can i use normal pliers to crimp wire leaders? or do i need to buy an actual crimping tool?
thinking of doing some shark and big fish land based fishing for an upcoming trip (hopefully).

Re: crimps

Re: crimps
Definitely use crimping pliers. The surface area crimped is most of the crimp itself, whereas using wire cutters-the surface of contact is minimal.
I got mine from Bunnings for about $30 and they are awesome.
