FAQs
Can I use these for lure fishing?
Yes, they are specifically designed to be used on both lure and bait traces.
Are these covers reusable?
While they can be removed, they are primarily designed as a consumable terminal tackle item. Inspect them for damage after each removal.
Will these fit all swivel sizes?
They are designed for standard predator fishing swivels. Extremely large or heavy-duty swivels may be too thick for the cover to sit flush.
Do these affect the action of the lure?
When installed correctly, they do not impede the action of the lure and actually help prevent fouling, which preserves the lure's intended movement.
Are these suitable for saltwater fishing?
While intended for predator (pike) fishing, the material is durable enough to withstand saltwater use, though you should rinse them with freshwater after use.
Troubleshooting
Cover keeps sliding off the swivel
Ensure the cover is pushed far enough over the eye of the swivel. If it remains loose, check if the swivel eye is too small for the cover's diameter.
Cover is difficult to slide over the swivel
Apply a tiny amount of water or non-toxic lubricant to the swivel eye to help the cover slide into position more easily.
Pros and Cons

- Creates a neat, streamlined terminal setup
- Protects trace swivels from debris and weed

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your line through the cover before attaching your trace to the swivel. Once the connection is secure, slide the cover over the swivel eye. For the best performance, ensure the cover is pushed firmly into place. These covers are compatible with most standard predator fishing swivels. After use, inspect the covers for signs of wear or cracking, especially if they have been subjected to heavy stress or submerged for extended periods. Keep them in a dry, dark place to prevent the material from degrading over time.
