Large Eye Swivel (UK size 8)
Code: SAF0101-0100Related products
Product detailed description
Size 8 sinker swivel with large eye is a rotating connector for custom fishing weights and rigs. A correctly selected swivel provides an attachment point and allows the connected part of the rig to rotate.
The large eye has a 6 mm outside diameter and a 4.5 mm inside diameter. The swivel body diameter is 3 mm; the size designation is 8.
For cast-in use, compare the actual body and eye dimensions with the specified component. A shared size 8 designation does not establish the same geometry as a regular VMC size 8 swivel.
The pack contains 100 or 1,000 pieces, depending on the variant. Choose the quantity to match your consumption; buying more pieces does not change the insert type specified for a particular cavity.
Selection and assembly
- Compare the exact swivel type with the mold instructions and selected cavity.
- Seat the component, check its orientation and confirm complete closure without force.
- Cast following the mold, metal and melting equipment instructions.
- After safe cooling, trim the casting and test the connection and swivel rotation.
The rotating section must remain functional after finishing. Keep the opening and swivel mechanism clear when trimming and painting. The selected connector must fit the exposed eye without damaging the line or leader.
Alternative products offer other sizes and attachment methods. A similar swivel is not automatically a compatible insert for the same mold. Test the first completed assembly before making a larger batch.
Safe handling and inspection
For casting, the mold, inserts and tools must be completely dry. Use safety glasses, suitable gloves, effective ventilation and a stable heat-resistant work surface. Follow the mold, metal and melting equipment instructions. Handle the casting only after it has cooled safely. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling lead; wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which version am I ordering?
This is the version with a 6 / 4.5 mm eye, code SAF0101. The full component design matters, not just its size number.
How many pieces are included?
The offer contains 100 or 1,000 pieces, depending on the variant. Select the required variant where applicable.
Can I substitute another swivel of the same size?
Only where the specific mold permits it and its recess matches. A shared size designation across ranges is insufficient.
What should I check on the first casting?
Secure anchorage of the cast-in section, an unobstructed connection opening and free rotation. Test the complete rig before fishing.
