Snap link swivels

[rushy]

One think on my list of things to sort out pre 16th June is to find a good brand of snap link swivels. I must have tried 4 or 5 brands last season and they were either too hard to open, too easy to open, too brittle , too soft and so on !!!

Any recommendations ?

Yes I use those Ian but on the end of the Korum running rigs. But as they don't have a swivel Eye on you can't thread your line through them , well you can but I'm sure you know what I mean ?

yes i thinkso.... i used to use lots of components in my barbel rigs but after a few things failed i decided to go back to basics and use very few now.. my chub fishing consists of a lump of playdo a splitshot and a hook

just bought a packet of these for my carp fishing at starbeck tackle shop 20 in a pack for

£2.99

Rushy with these you can clip and unclip both your hooklink and your line depending which one you prefer without any messing.

Rushy I recommend mate.

i think he wants his line free running through the swivel part so he can change the size of lead or feeder...... if so try these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-x-Size-8-Snap-link-swivels-for-fishing-Tackle-hair-rigs-weights-safety-clips-/150515883297?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item230b721d21

So don't be tight and buy some swivels as well

Just a word of warning on these, use a sleeve with them or the hook length can end up coming adrift.

agree with brian, use quick links and add a swivel for you feeders and cover with a bit of tube

I will give it a go. The quick links are certainly easier to operate and a more positive lock than the good old snap link swivels ........ old habits die hard eh

[binner]

find some small/narrow gauge/sharp quick links and add one to the swivel loop on your lead, then use it to pierce pva mesh bags you dont get the pendulum effect on the cast then with the lead also sliding up the line
