Welcome to the site Scuba!
Read all you can, search around and ask whatever you can't find an answer to.
What knots are you using that make you tired of them?
We have links to many how-to's for knots on here.
I don't use crimped-on sleeves for anything under 250 pound mono.
My 130# braid and 100# mono are tied. Both are running line.
The 250# leader gets the crimp.
If you really must use sleeves, make sure you get them for mono, as the ones for wire may cut your line.
You can find them for the diameter of your line. Remember you will have two strands in the sleeve so size it correctly. Some brands have a double sleeve.
But please, read through the forum and look at the knots before you use sleeves.
