You can get ally or copper?brass crimps from most fishing shops. You just match the crimp to the mono size or copper for steel wire. I crimp starting at one end if the crimp turning it 180 degrees for each crimp to remove crimp curling. I also run the tag end well past the crimp and melt the end flat, then pull it up to the crimp and crimp it. You can also get rubber tube, plastic coated wire tube or ali loops to protect the mono where the loop is.
