Product Information
Full details
The Fox Edges Swivels are designed for serious anglers who demand reliability and seamless integration within their terminal tackle setups. These swivels excel by offering smooth, consistent rotation under high tension, making them a top-tier choice for those who value terminal stability and tangle prevention. While their specialized sizing is perfect for most Fox ecosystem components, users should note that the specific sizing requirements for sizes 7, 10, and 11 mean careful selection is necessary to ensure compatibility with non-Fox specific rigs.

FAQs
Which size should I use for bolt rigs?
Size 7 is specifically engineered to fit perfectly into Fox clips, sleeves, and inline leads.
Are these swivels suitable for saltwater use?
While durable, they are primarily designed for freshwater carp angling; rinse thoroughly with fresh water after any saltwater exposure.
Can I use these with non-Fox terminal tackle?
Yes, they will function as standard swivels, but the precise 'fit' into lead clips or inline leads is optimized specifically for Fox products.
What is the benefit of the matte finish?
The matte finish reduces light reflection underwater, making your terminal tackle much less visible to wary fish.
How many swivels are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 units.
Are the eyes on the size 10 and 11 swivels strong enough?
Yes, despite their small size, they are manufactured with robust, strengthened wire to ensure they maintain their integrity under pressure.
Troubleshooting
Swivel not sitting correctly in the inline lead
Ensure you are using a size 7 swivel, as other sizes will be too loose or too large for the lead insert.
Line twisting during retrieve
Check the central barrel to ensure no silt or debris has entered the rotation mechanism; rinse with water and clear any obstructions.

- High structural strength prevents deformation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Fox Edges Swivels, ensure you match the size to your intended rig. Use size 7 for lead-clip and inline lead systems to ensure the swivel seats correctly within the internal components. For float fishing or delicate presentations, opt for size 10 or 11 to keep the rig lightweight and subtle.
Regarding maintenance, these swivels are coated for corrosion resistance, but it is best practice to rinse them with fresh water after fishing in brackish or saltwater environments. Inspect the wire loops periodically for any burrs or signs of wear if you are fishing in abrasive, snaggy conditions, and replace the swivel immediately if the eye shows signs of thinning.
