Fishing Swivels

Swivels come in a variety of different styles, and can be made of either brass or stainless steel. The job of the swivel is to minimise line twists, enable you to join two lines together and to attach a trace to the line. Swivels are sized the same way as hooks ( 6/0 to 14 ). It is important to match the swivel size to the line you are using.

Types of swivels


Snap – basically a barrel swivel with a snap attached to one end. This type of swivel makes it easy to change rigs

Three-way – enables you to attach a third line. Ideal for making dropper rigs.

Ball bearing – most efficient for reducing line twists.
