Tronixpro Shrink Link

The Tronixpro Shrink Link is a specialized piece of terminal tackle that combines a quick-change link and a swivel, with the connection sealed and stiffened by shrink tube.

Key Features and Construction

• Component: It consists of a quick-change link/clip and a swivel joined together, with a piece of shrink tube covering the joint.
• Rigidity and Alignment: The shrink tube is the key feature; once heat is applied to the tube, it shrinks down, making the link and the swivel connection rigid and in-line. This rigid, straight alignment is crucial for reducing tangles during the cast and presentation.
• Functionality: The top eye of the swivel remains free to rotate, which still allows it to perform its primary function of preventing line twist.
• Clip Design: The quick-change clip is typically designed to be streamlined and weedless.

Recommended Uses and Benefits

The unique construction of the Shrink Link makes it highly versatile for various sea fishing applications:

1. Quick Mainline Attachment: A good link for attaching lighter weights and rigs to the mainline, allowing for fast changes without having to re-tie knots.
2. Mini-Boom for Snoods: One of its main benefits is for use on rigs to quickly change hook snoods (hook lengths). The rigidity created by the shrink tube acts as a small, effective mini-boom that holds the snood away from the rig body, helping to create a better presentation and avoid tangles.

Available Sizes and Breaking Strains

The Tronixpro Shrink Link is typically sold in packs of 5 units and is available in a range of sizes corresponding to different breaking strains:
