Product Information
Full details
The Fox Edges Tungsten Anti Tangle Sleeves are designed for carp anglers seeking precision and rig efficiency, particularly when using PVA bags or quick-change stiff booms. These micro-sized sleeves provide the dual benefit of preventing casting tangles while adding critical weight to ensure your terminal tackle remains pinned to the lakebed. While they are highly effective for refined presentations, their micro-size may be more challenging to manipulate for anglers with limited dexterity compared to standard-sized sleeves.

FAQs
How many sleeves are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 individual anti-tangle sleeves.
Are these sleeves suitable for heavy leads?
Yes, they are suitable for use with most lead systems, though they are specifically optimized for micro-swivel and PVA bag setups.
Do I need to glue the sleeve in place?
No, the sleeves are designed to be a friction fit and do not require adhesive.
Can I use these with standard size swivels?
These are micro-sized; they are best paired with quick-change swivels designed for micro components to maintain the desired low profile.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, the sleeves are supplied in a recyclable cardboard wallet.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is difficult to slide over the swivel
Apply a tiny amount of saliva or water to the eye of the swivel to reduce friction and allow the sleeve to slide into place more easily.
Sleeve keeps pulling off during the cast
Ensure the sleeve is pushed far enough over the swivel eye to create a firm friction fit; if it remains loose, the swivel eye may be too large for this micro model.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces tangles during long-distance casts
- Added tungsten weight improves rig concealment on the bottom
- Low-profile micro design is ideal for subtle baiting situations
- Recyclable packaging supports environmentally conscious fishing
- Perfect for PVA bag and stiff boom rig applications
Cons
- Micro size can be fiddly to attach for some users
- Limited to 8 units per pack

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your main line through the sleeve before attaching your swivel. Ensure the sleeve is pushed firmly over the eye of the quick-change swivel to create a secure, streamlined junction.
- Compatibility: These are best used with size 7 or micro-sized quick-change swivels.
- Care: After use, rinse the sleeves in fresh water to remove lake silt or weed. Inspect for any signs of wear or splitting after a session, especially if fishing over rocky or snaggy terrain. Store in the original cardboard wallet to prevent deformation.
