Swivels

Featured Replies

I've been using the tiny spro swivels for when I throw a inline spinner, but I'm still getting a decent amount of line twist. What brand swivels do you use to reduce line twist?

Make sure the blade on the spinner is actually spinning and not the entire lure. If the lure is holding and not spinning, you shouldn’t need a swivel at all.

For finesse stuff I like Scientific Anglers. They're often in the fly fishing section. Are you running your swivel directly above the bait or further up the line?

The swivel is about 3 inches from the inline spinner. Ill check out the scientific angler swivels, thanks.

Are you using ball bearing swivels?

I use these the swivels below, not sure if they have a ball bearing.

Those are not ball bearing. Ball bearing swivels are a lot more expensive

Those are more like the swivels you'd use for a Carolina rig.

I've found that light braid actually encouraged twist and some spinners simply twist more than others.

I've culled mine and tossed the ones that misbehaved.

Mainly use Mepps #3.

I see, I'll pick up some of the Sampo size 1 ball bearing swivels and give them a try. Thx.

The Mepps #3 is awesome, I have been doing really well with the Blue fox Vibrax #4 this year, but the line twist has been crazy. I will give the Sampo size #1 a try and see if it helps.
