Product Information
Full details
The Avid Carp Outline Micro Hookbait Swivel is an essential piece of terminal tackle for dedicated carp anglers looking to maximize their bait presentation. Designed specifically for attaching hookbaits to hook shanks or D-rig configurations, these size 17 micro swivels allow for natural, 360-degree movement, which can significantly increase the chances of hooking wary fish. While these swivels are extremely effective at improving bait mechanics, their ultra-small size can make them slightly challenging to handle for anglers with limited dexterity or when used in cold, wet conditions.

FAQs
How many swivels come in a pack?

What is the size of these swivels?
These are size 17 micro swivels, specifically chosen for their compact, low-profile performance.
Can I use these with pop-ups?
Yes, they are excellent for pop-up presentations, particularly when creating D-rigs or sliding bait attachments.
Do these swivels rust?
They are constructed with high-quality materials, but it is recommended to dry your terminal tackle after each session to prevent oxidation.
Are these suitable for beginners?

Troubleshooting
Swivel rotation feels stiff
Check that the swivel eye is not obstructed by excess rig glue or debris and clear with a fine needle if necessary.
Swivel slipping off the hook shank
Ensure a proper rig stop or a small piece of bait silicone is used to secure the swivel on the shank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate these swivels into your setup, slide the swivel eye onto the hook shank before securing the rig stop. Ensure that the swivel moves freely without being obstructed by any shrink tubing or line aligners. These swivels are compatible with most standard carp fishing hooks. To maintain their performance, rinse the swivels in fresh water after use in silty or sandy conditions to prevent grit from affecting the rotation. Store them in a dry, organized tackle box compartment to prevent the small components from becoming lost or tangled.
