crimping without a crimper

There is no issue at all with aluminum crimps. As far as holding power long aluminum crimps the type very commonly used in fishing are far superior. First aluminum is soft and more malleable than copper which, is brittle, will crack and cut line. Second, in no way shape or fashion will crimps cause a shaft to rust to the point of damage.

I just value safety more than fish I guess. I dont feel I am handicapped much at all by my choice either. Again this is based upon experience. My experience is that the stainless cable not only wraps up a diver, (mono could do this also) it cuts, it cuts through limbs & fingers, etc very efficiently. When you are a few hundred NM from the nearest medical facility even smaller or minor injuries carry much more potential risk. Removing stainless cable is a simple way to remove a serious potential threat with very little reduction in utility.

....as far as i remember the content of this thread, nobody here had concerns about the crimps will cause damage to a shaft.
but some mentioned and proved that it is possible that a crimp, most of all aluminium-crimps, can face corrosion and damage through contact with stainless-steel components, wich could be the shaft or the cable used.

LOL if a person keeps a crimp of any sort on his line for so long as that corrosion would cause damage to the equipment, then that person should take better care of his equipment.
