Most Zoom "Candy" colors use purple and green glitter along with black. Disco Candy would be Sparkle Violet and Sparkle GR (green) along with black. Not sure about the base color but it looks like Watermelon, maybe a Baby Bass.

If you got them at a hobby store, then they are more likely to be used for jewelry making, and are probably pretty weak.

Spent a few hours in my shop and took a look at my A Rig components. .041 wire no. 7 coast lock swivel for end of the arms no 5 swivel sleeve the crimpers do not have any markings but I have a photo. They are 81/4 inches long. I use the crimp channel marked in red. It’s very small but is round as opposed to the v shape. Memory wasn’t so good. I believe I prolly bought from The Barlow brothers. Just another option for you. Good luck….. https://barlowstackle.com/standard-crimper-cutters-p932/

You will want to use as large a wire as you can get away with. If you are making your harness you may be limited by your wire bending tool. I’m pretty sure I use .041 but will be down in my shop later and will check. If you use too small a wire, the a rig won’t hold its shape well and bend easily. Also as you have experienced, if the wire is too small for the swivel sleeve, or not sized correctly, they can slide on you. I will look at the crimping tool I use and see if it has markings but it is one with several slots to choose from. I use a small slot with a vee that crimps tightly.

I put a coat of super glue on the wire where the spacer fits, then slide the spacer over the glue and crimp.

Not sure if posted but I go through nail files more than anything else. The kind women use on their nails. One set is 80 grit on both sides. One set is 120 one side/240 other side. I like using these over sand paper because the foam in between the grits gives it more structure, kinda like using a block, but with enough pressure curves to the bait. Kind of hard to explain but steal some from your girlfriend/wife and try it. I start with the 80 grit till I like the profile then hit it with a couple passes of the 120 before ending with the 240. Works really good on lathe baits too. Usually get a couple/few baits per file before throwing away.
