Troubleshooting
Swivel feels stiff or doesn't rotate freely
Rinse the swivel thoroughly with fresh water and dry it. Ensure no debris is lodged in the rotating mechanism. If the issue persists, the swivel may be damaged and should be replaced.
Line twists despite using the swivel
Check that the swivel is correctly tied and that the line is not catching on the swivel eye. Ensure the swivel is the appropriate size for the fishing conditions and target species. Using a slightly larger or smaller swivel might help in certain situations.
Swivel breaks under load
Verify that the break test (10kg) is sufficient for your fishing application and target species. Ensure your knots are tied correctly, as a poorly tied knot can weaken the line at the connection point.
