Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Covert XT Flexi-Ring Kwik Lok Swivels are designed for serious carp anglers who require a reliable and efficient quick-change system for their terminal tackle. These swivels provide a significant tactical advantage by allowing for rapid hook changes during sessions, though they are specifically engineered for use with rigs that accommodate flexi-ring attachments, which may require minor adjustments for some existing setups.

FAQs
Can I use these with any type of hook?
They are compatible with most standard carp hooks, provided the eye is large enough to pass over the crook.
Are these swivels reusable?
Yes, they are designed to be reused multiple times without losing their strength or shape.
How many come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual swivels.
What is the benefit of the flexi-ring?
The flexi-ring allows for greater movement and rotation, which prevents tangles and improves the mechanics of your rig.
Will the black finish chip off?
The finish is durable, but like any terminal tackle, it may show minor wear after prolonged contact with abrasive lakebeds or stones.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose on the swivel
Ensure a proper kicker or piece of shrink tube is pushed fully over the eye of the hook to secure it to the swivel crook.
Swivel rotation feels gritty
Rinse the unit thoroughly with fresh water to remove any lake silt or sand trapped in the ring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, always pair these swivels with high-quality shrink tubing or dedicated rig kickers to lock the hook in place on the crook. Ensure the hook eye diameter is compatible with the swivel's gape; most standard carp hooks fit perfectly. After use, inspect the crook for any signs of debris or sediment. If the swivel becomes stiff due to silt or lakebed particles, rinse it with clean water and test the rotation before storing it back in your tackle box. Avoid forcing hooks onto the swivel if they are too small, as this could prematurely fatigue the material.
