Product Description
For serious big game anglers, protecting critical leader connections from abrasion and chafing is paramount. Black Magic Armour Springs, also widely recognised as Armour Sleeves, provide a robust and flexible solution to safeguard your heavy monofilament leaders. These innovative stainless steel springs are engineered to prevent line damage at the most vulnerable points, ensuring your rig withstands the immense pressures of battling powerful fish.
Threaded over the leader loop where it connects to a hook, swivel, or lure tow point, Armour Springs offer a flexible, steel-reinforced tunnel for your line. Unlike rigid plastic thimbles that can crack under extreme pressure, or direct mono-to-metal connections that risk damage, these springs ensure the critical connection point stays intact. This is vital during prolonged battles with powerful fish such as Marlin, Tuna, or Broadbill, making them an essential component for "Speed Rigs" and other heavy-tackle setups.
- Abrasion Protection: Provides a steel shield around your monofilament loop, preventing the hook eye or swivel from sawing through the line under tension.
- Flexible Design: Unlike rigid thimbles, the spring design allows for natural movement and compression, minimising bulk at the lure head.
- Stainless Steel: Crafted from high-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater environments.
- Easy Rigging: Easily threaded onto the leader before crimping your loop.
- Versatile Fit: Offered in sizes to suit various leader diameters, from medium game to heavy tackle.
