What are fishing swivels?

Fishing swivels are small, barrel shaped devices made of metal typically brass, stainless steel, or other alloys designed to prevent fishing line twists and tangles. They consist of two rings or eyelets joined together by a rotating barrel. Swivels are crucial components of fishing rigs and tackle setups and serve several purposes:

Preventing line twist: Swivels are primarily used to prevent the fishing line from twisting, especially when using certain rigs or techniques that can cause the line to spin. When a swivel is incorporated into the rig, it allows the bait or lure to spin without twisting the main line.
Connecting components: Swivels provide an attachment point for different components of a fishing rig, such as leaders, mainlines, hooks, sinkers, or other terminal tackle. They enable easy and secure connections between various parts of the fishing setup.
Reducing line visibility: In certain setups, using a swivel can help reduce the visibility of the fishing line, particularly when using leaders or rigs that require a more discreet presentation.
There are different types and sizes of fishing swivels, each designed for specific fishing applications:

Barrel swivels: These are the most common type and consist of a barrel shaped housing with rings or eyelets at each end. They come in various sizes and strengths to match different fishing line weights and types.
Ball bearing swivels: Ball bearing swivels are advanced swivels with multiple bearings inside the housing, allowing for smoother rotation and reduced friction. They´re often used for heavy duty applications or when a smoother swivel action is needed.
Three way swivels: These swivels have three eyelets, allowing for the connection of three separate lines or components, commonly used in three way rig setups.
Choosing the right swivel involves considering factors such as the fishing line weight, the type of fishing saltwater or freshwater, the target species, and the specific rig or technique being used. Its important to match the swivel´s strength and size to the fishing line and tackle being used to ensure reliable performance and avoid line breakages or failures. You can buy them from Daiwa, Raymarine, Rapala, Fox International, and Mikado.
