What are the best crimping sleeves to use when you are making your own Flouro leaders?

I didn't use any crimping sleeves when I made my leaders; I just used the Palomar knot. It kinda looks like it won't hold, maybe slip, but it hasn't yet. Hauled in a 10lber the other night!

Knots are best for heavy fluro Either a uni knot or the "Worlds fair knot".

Line to line knots are tough with heavy Fluoro.

This winter I was using some sleeves from UFA that I found with the downrigging stuff. They might have been Scotty's, can't remeber off hand. Really heavy duty, and probably overkill, but I was also using 100lb floro leader material, and I don't think any knot would work well with that stuff. I got some berkly sleeves for the lighter floro I got for this summer, but I haven't rigged any up yet, so I couldn't tell you how well they work. Hope that helps...
