Mustad rig & surf Crimps 5x0.8mm

Overview

The Mustad Single Black Sleeves 77260 are brass rigging crimps designed for anglers who build their own sea-fishing traces and rigs. This 0.8 mm version measures 5 mm in length with a 0.8 mm internal diameter, and comes supplied 50 sleeves per pack under the exact variant code 77260-0.8MM-N50.

Made from brass and finished in black nickel, these single-barrel sleeves are described as corrosion-resistant, making them suited to the demands of saltwater rig building. They form part of Mustad's rigging and terminal tackle range, alongside other sizes running from 0.6 mm through to 2.8 mm.

Perfect For

These sleeves are specifically marketed for rig and trace construction, with retailer information explicitly including surfcasting rig applications. They're a practical choice for anglers assembling custom sea-fishing rigs where the line or leader diameter matches the 0.8 mm internal bore of the sleeve.

Technical Insight

The single-barrel construction allows the line or leader to be passed through the sleeve and then compressed with a suitable crimping tool, creating a secure mechanical connection without knots. The brass body with black nickel finish is built to resist the corrosive effects of saltwater use.

Because the 0.8 mm figure refers to the sleeve's internal diameter rather than an overall size code, it's worth matching this dimension carefully against your chosen line or leader diameter when planning a rig, as Mustad does not publish a breaking strain or maximum load rating for this single sleeve range.
