Crimps with Fireline?

[Ken Knecht]

I like to use Fireline, in preference to Softflex or whatever,
but I have a problem positioning knots just where I want them,
despite trying to guide them into place with a whatever. Can I
use crimps instead? I've not tried it, fearing they would cut the
line eventually.

TIA

Ken

I have not found crimps to work with FireLine since I use 6 pound test line.
If the line were larger it might hold but I would be afraid it would cut or
fray the line.

So far, I've only used the 14 lb., but I use it doubled even in seed
beads. It makes knotting a breeze because I'm working with two strings
instead of one. At the end of a string, I make a very tight square
knot, add a size 15 seed (yes, both strands will fit through), then
another square knot, and a clamshell around the bead and both knots.

Cheers,
Carla
