Swivels For Spinnerbaits.

Recommended Posts

I was wanting to know what some of you guys think about the samp swivels. I have been using them. Some of the last ones that I bought did not seem to turn well. Is their another brand that works well that may be cheaper than the sampos. Thanks for the information.

Worth swivels are, in my opinion, equal to the performance of Sampo and while they are less expensive it isn't by much. The cheapest way to buy them, if not in bulk is to buy them by the 100 count, the cheapest I found is Barlows tackle and you have to order the swivels without split rings attached and then buy the split rings separately from them as well, 100 swivels without the rings is $45.77 and then you buy the rings which are $4.59 per 100 and you need 200 so the total cost for 100 complete at Barlows is $54.95. You have to put the rings on yourself but the rings that are made for the swivel are very easy to work with.

I upgraded to these through Barlows and haven't found a bad bearing yet.  I love my spinner baits now more than ever.

 

I'm sure it helps that I've worked on my 3 color painting scheme and tying techniques, but the bearings are the best yet.

 

Look for American made premium ball bearing swivels, then order the rings.  It takes very little time to attach the rings to the swivel.  Best stuff out there...love them!!!

here's the link.  Buy the swivels and rings separately.

I fish a of of weedy ,grassy  areas in Florida.  Use mostly braided line. No swivel. Tie right onto the spinner.

   Use Baitcaster reels ...............only.    No line problems.

 

 Swivels certainly have there place but not for me.  If I had to buy any, I`d get the bearing kind. Go cheap and you end up with "twister" line. Especially using a spinning reel.
