FAQs
How many swivels come in a pack?
Each packet contains 10 pieces.
What sizes are available?
The Savage Gear Eggsnap Swivel is available in XS, S, M, and L sizes.
Can these be used for saltwater fishing?
Yes, they are suitable for light saltwater use, but be sure to rinse them with fresh water after each trip to prevent corrosion.
Are these swivels strong enough for pike fishing?
While durable, ensure you choose the appropriate size (such as Large) and be mindful of the weight and force your specific target species exerts.
Does the swivel add weight to my lure?
The swivel is designed to be lightweight and compact, but it will add a negligible amount of weight that should not disrupt the action of most standard-sized lures.
Troubleshooting
Snap is difficult to open
Ensure you are applying pressure to the center of the wire loop; using a small pair of pliers can help if your fingers are cold or wet.
Line twist persists despite using the swivel
Verify that the swivel is spinning freely; if the swivel is clogged with grit or salt, rinse thoroughly or replace it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rig, tie your main fishing line directly to the swivel eye using a reliable knot like a Palomar or Clinch knot. Ensure you pull the knot tight and trim the tag end close to prevent debris from catching. When attaching a lure to the egg snap, gently depress the spring steel wire and slide the eye of the lure onto the loop.
For maintenance, always rinse the swivels with fresh water after fishing in saltwater environments to prevent corrosion. Periodically inspect the snap mechanism for any signs of fatigue or misalignment, and discard any swivel that shows signs of warping.
