The Korda Size 11 PTFE COATED SPINNER RING SWIVEL has been purposefully designed for creating the ...The Korda Size 11 PTFE COATED SPINNER RING SWIVEL has been purposefully designed for creating the popular Spinner/Ronnie Rig. It uses a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating which is a synthetic polymer and has one of the lowest coefficients of friction of any solid. This makes it the perfect coating for our swivels as it reduces friction between the barrel and swivel eye, allowing them to rotate freely, this in turn will improve the hooking efficiency of your Spinner Rig. Having the most efficient rotation will increase your rigs mechanics and help them to perform at their optimum level. The PTFE COATED SPINNER RING SWIVELS will be added to our range of end tackle and will not replace our existing SPINNER RING SWIVELS.
This guide is for anglers looking to enhance their Spinner/Ronnie rigs with the Korda PTFE Coated Spinner Ring Swivels. These swivels are designed to reduce friction and improve hook-up efficiency. A key benefit is the enhanced rotation, leading to better rig performance. However, proper rig construction is crucial to fully realize the benefits.

FAQs
What is PTFE?
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic polymer known for its low friction properties. It's used to coat the swivels to enhance rotation.
What size are these swivels?
These swivels are size 11.
Can I use these swivels with any type of hook?
Yes, these swivels are compatible with various hook types suitable for Spinner/Ronnie rigs.
How do I maintain the swivels?

Are these swivels a replacement for the standard Spinner Ring Swivels?
No, these are an addition to the range and will not replace the existing Spinner Ring Swivels.
What is the benefit of the PTFE coating?
The PTFE coating reduces friction between the barrel and swivel eye, allowing them to rotate freely, which improves hooking efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Swivel rotation feels restricted.
Ensure no debris or obstructions are interfering with the swivel's movement. Check the line connection for any kinks or tangles. Rinse and clean the swivel.
Reduced hook-up rate.
Check your rig construction for any issues. Ensure the hook is correctly positioned and free to rotate. Replace the swivel if it is damaged.
