Question for you guys.. My first set of baits I made I used Sampo ball bearing swivels they seem to be great swivels but pricy too so I'm looking to cut cost some but without sacrificing to much quality what do you guys think about the EAGLE CLAW ballbearing interlocking swivle I can buy those all day long at .46 per?

Thanks,
Brad

I only use the Sampos because they work for me.

I used Eagle Claw ball bearings swivels with solid rings on musky/pike spinnerbaits (size #3 &4, made in Korea) and they were not bad. For smaller spinnerbaits I think the best choice is Worth ball bearing sviwels. Pricey too. Around 62-70$ per 100pcs, but the quality is really great. LPO has them in stock:

I use Worth ball bearing swivels as well. You can't beat the quality for the price. You can also buy direct from Worth and I believe you can buy broken packages for an additional charge.

Worth swivels are the best I ever used, they are expensive but not as much as Sampo and yet the same if not better quality. BTW, I've been using Worth ballbearing swivels for 10 years and never had a single one fail.

ok thanx guys I'll definitely look into the worth swivels.
