FAQs

What size hooklink should I use with these swivels?

The appropriate hooklink depends on the fishing situation and the size of the hook. Generally, use a hooklink that complements the size of the hook and the targeted fish. Test the setup to ensure free movement of the swivel.

Can I use these swivels with a lead clip system?

Yes, these swivels are compatible with lead clip systems. Attach the swivel to the lead clip swivel for a secure and functional setup.

How do I know if the swivel is damaged?

Inspect the swivel for any signs of corrosion, bending, or damage to the ring. If any of these are present, replace the swivel immediately.

Are these swivels suitable for saltwater fishing?

While they can be used in saltwater, it's crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each session to prevent corrosion.

How many swivels are in a pack?

Each pack contains 8 swivels.

What is the primary function of the ring on the swivel?

The ring creates a pivot point for your rig, allowing the hooklink to move freely and improving bait presentation.

Troubleshooting

Swivel knot failing during casting or retrieving.

Check your knot tying technique. Ensure the knot is properly tightened and moistened before tightening. Consider using a knot-sealing product for added security.

Swivel showing signs of corrosion or wear.

Rinse with fresh water after each use and store in a dry place. Replace swivels if corrosion is significant or if they show signs of damage.
