FAQs
Are these swivels suitable for PVA bag fishing?
Yes, their micro size makes them perfect for small, compact rigs often used inside PVA bags.
Can I use these with heavy mono hooklinks?
Yes, they are designed to handle the tension of stiff materials, but ensure you use a knot suitable for the thickness of your line.
Does the non-reflective coating wear off?
Like any coating, it may show minor wear over time after heavy use in abrasive environments, but it remains effective at reducing glare.
Are these legal for all fisheries?
Yes, they are standard components that meet the requirements of most commercial and private carp fisheries.
How do these differ from standard swivels?
Micro rig swivels are significantly smaller and engineered specifically for high-movement rigs like the Chod, whereas standard swivels are usually bulkier.
Troubleshooting
Swivel rotation feels stiff or gritty.
Check for debris or dried silt inside the eye; rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry.
Hooklink is twisting during the cast.
Ensure the swivel is not being restricted by a bulky knot or improperly crimped sleeve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these swivels, ensure you have a fine-gauge baiting needle or a dedicated rig tool to pass your stiff mono or fluorocarbon through the eye. When attaching, double-check your knots to ensure the swivel can rotate freely without catching on the knot tag end. Regarding care, because of their small size, it is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after fishing in silty or sandy conditions. Store them in a dry tackle box compartment to maintain the integrity of the non-reflective coating. If you notice any signs of corrosion or metal fatigue after a particularly intense battle, it is best practice to replace the swivel immediately to ensure your next rig is bulletproof.
