FAQs
When should I use a swivel in my rig?
Use swivels when trolling, using spinning lures, or anytime line twist may be an issue. They're also helpful when separating leader lines or joining different types of line.
Do snap swivels affect lure action?
Sometimes. While convenient, snap swivels may interfere with the natural movement of finesse or suspending baits. For delicate presentations, tie directly or use a loop knot.
Are swivels strong enough for big fish?
Yes, if matched properly. Always check the pound-test rating and use stainless or coated swivels for saltwater and large species to avoid failure or corrosion.
