Product Information
Full details
The RidgeMonkey Rock Bottom Crimp & Knot Covers are designed for dedicated carp and specimen anglers looking to improve their terminal tackle concealment and presentation. These tungsten-impregnated covers provide essential weight to pin rigs firmly to the lake bed while ensuring a snag-free transition between hooklink and leader. While they offer excellent versatility for various rig configurations, users should note that they require careful selection of hooklink diameters to ensure the best fit within the internal bore.

FAQs
How many covers come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual Rock Bottom Crimp & Knot Covers.
Can I use these with leadcore leaders?
Yes, they are compatible with most standard leadcore and braided leaders, though you should ensure the internal bore passes over the spliced connection smoothly.
Does the tungsten add significant weight?
While the weight is enough to pin the rig to the bottom, it is intended for presentation and concealment rather than acting as a lead weight.
Can these be reused?
Yes, they can be removed and reused on different rigs as long as the material has not become stretched or damaged.
Is the putty included in the pack?
No, the rig putty must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Cover is difficult to slide over the line
Lubricate the line with a drop of water or saliva before attempting to slide the cover into position.
Cover slides off the crimp or knot during cast
Ensure the crimp or knot is positioned deep enough into the wider bore end. If it remains loose, use a small amount of rig putty to seal the entrance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases rig weight for better lake bed presentation
- Tungsten-impregnated for faster sinking
- Streamlined design prevents weed and debris accumulation

Cons
- Limited to a 10-piece pack per purchase
- May require some force to slide over thicker leader materials
- Standard size may not fit extremely heavy-duty leader knots
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your hooklink through the smaller end of the cover before tying your terminal knot or crimping your loop. Once your rig component is secured, slide the cover down the line until the knot or crimp sits securely inside the larger bore end.
These covers are compatible with most standard monofilament, fluorocarbon, and coated braid hooklinks. After a session in silty or muddy water, it is recommended to rinse the covers in clean water to remove debris trapped in the ribbing. Inspect the integrity of the plastic after heavy use to ensure it hasn't split, and store them away from direct sunlight to maintain the elasticity of the material.
