The Gardner Covert Mini Rig Swivels (Size 12) are designed for carp and specimen anglers who prioritize terminal tackle finesse and rapid component changes. These swivels provide exceptional strength and a discreet profile, making them ideal for clear-water fishing where stealth is paramount; however, their small size may require more patience and dexterity when tying knots compared to larger, standard swivels.

Each packet contains 20 Gardner Covert Mini Rig Swivels.
They are specifically designed to work with Gardner Covert Easi Clips, Speed Links, and Q-Rings for optimal performance.
The finish is durable, but like any coating, it can be scratched if dragged over sharp gravel or hard surfaces.
While they are high-strength, they are primarily designed for freshwater carp fishing. Ensure you rinse them thoroughly if used in saltwater to prevent corrosion.
Yes, Size 12 is chosen specifically to provide a balance between strength and the finesse required for modern rig building.
Ensure you are using a knot suitable for swivels and that it is fully lubricated with saliva or water before pulling tight to prevent heat damage.
Check for debris or grit stuck in the barrel of the swivel. Rinse with clean water and rotate the eye several times to clear the mechanism.
To achieve the best results, ensure you use a knot that maintains the integrity of the round swivel eye, such as a Grinner or Palomar knot. When connecting to terminal components, slide the swivel eye onto the corresponding Speed Link or Easi Clip, ensuring the clip is fully closed. Because the finish is designed to be low-profile, avoid scraping the swivel against rocks or concrete, as abrasive surfaces may eventually wear through the matte coating. After a trip, rinse your terminal tackle in fresh water to remove any lingering silt or debris, especially after fishing in brackish or silty water.
