VMC Swivel #8
Code: YM/3023-08Related products
Product detailed description
VMC sinker swivel size 8 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.
Regular VMC size 8 swivel for molds with the matching recess. The size number alone does not establish interchangeability with another range or manufacturer.
Verified examples include F39, F104, F114 and F42. In combination molds F57 and F43, the swivel is for the looped sinker configuration; the inline cavity uses a different insert.
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.
