Product Information

Full details

The Preston Innovations Quick Change Swivels are designed for coarse anglers who prioritize efficiency and time-management on the bank, particularly those utilizing feeder and waggler tactics. These swivels allow for near-instant hooklength changes, significantly reducing downtime between casts. While their high-strength design is excellent for most conditions, users should ensure the swivel size matches their line diameter to avoid unnecessary bulk in finesse setups.

FAQs

What is the difference between Small and Medium sizes?

The sizes differ in total body length and weight capacity; choose Small for finesse setups and Medium for heavier feeder work.

Can I use these with braided line?

Yes, they are compatible with both mono and braided lines, provided your knot is tied securely.

Do I need a sleeve with these swivels?

While not strictly required, using a silicone sleeve is highly recommended to keep the loop secure and improve the anti-tangle properties.

Are these suitable for saltwater fishing?

While designed for coarse fishing, they can be used in saltwater; however, you must rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each session to prevent corrosion.

Will these work with hair rigs?

Yes, they are fully compatible with any hooklength style, including hair rigs, provided the loop is sized appropriately.

Troubleshooting

Hooklength loop slipping off the swivel

Ensure that a silicone sleeve is pushed firmly over the swivel arm to hold the loop in place.

Line twisting during retrieve

Check that the swivel rotates freely; if stiff, rinse with fresh water or replace the unit.

Tangles occurring at the attachment point

Verify that your hooklength loop is small and that the sleeve covers the connection completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces time spent changing rigs
  • High build quality prevents premature breakage
  • Highly effective at minimizing line twist
  • Compatible with both feeder and waggler fishing setups
  • Consistent performance in varied weather and water conditions

Cons

  • Slightly heavier than standard knot-to-swivel setups
  • Requires proper sleeve placement for a streamlined look
  • Available in limited size range (Small and Medium only)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, tie your main line to the eye of the swivel using a standard improved clinch knot. To attach your hooklength, create a small loop at the end of your hooklength, slide the loop over the open hook of the swivel, and secure it with a compatible sleeve or bead. These swivels are compatible with most standard monofilament and braid hooklengths. For maintenance, simply rinse the swivels in fresh water after sessions in saltwater or silty environments to ensure the rotation remains fluid. Store in a dry, organized rig box to prevent oxidation of the metal components.
