I'm looking for a very strong swivel for my Carolina rigs or should I not even bother to use a swivel

Swivels for saltwater fishing are super strong.

I dont use swivels on my c-rigs. I use braid to a mono leader. I slide my sinker on, then 2-3 bobber stops, then i tie my bait on. This setup allows me to change my leader length, and retie the section between the weight and the bait as needed when it gets worn.

The 80lb spro is tiny and stroooooooooooong.

Carolina Keeper

Haven't used a swivel in years...Carolina Keepers work great.

50# plus braid with a bead and a Spro swivel as said. 10-12# flouro leader. 2/0 hook and Elaztech Zman nose hooked.

 

Carolina keepers dont hold my 1 oz plus weights very well and wont allow two different line weights types. 

Spro Swivels are about the toughest I've found.

I have to use two keepers for heavier weights. Also, the clear ones seem to hold better than red.

Yeah but C keepers are not cheap compared to a 5 cent swivel and as I said I dont want 8-12# flouro all the way. I want heavy braid to free that heavy weight if snagged. I wont ming loosing the leader/hook/bait.
