Catfish swivel CATKONG 165kg 10pack

Product detailed description

Delphin CATKONG 6/0 is a plain heavy-duty swivel rated at 165 kg. The manufacturer lists it as a catfish component for building terminal rigs. This pack contains 10 swivels and no quick-release snap.

Within a saltwater setup, it may suit robust natural bait traces that need a rotating connection and have room for its dimensions. Assess any deep-water or pirking application as a complete rig. A high strength rating alone does not make it a specialist heavy-jigging or trolling swivel.

It can be unnecessarily bulky beside a small lure. If specifically stated ball-bearing rotation is required, compare a ball-bearing model with a suitable strength rating. Both eyes must accommodate the leader or connecting ring without binding or a sharp bend.

The stated rating applies to the connector. Knots, leader material, other components and shock loads affect the complete rig. Allow an appropriate reserve and set the reel drag accordingly.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is CATKONG only for catfish?

It is primarily listed as a catfish component. Select it for a saltwater rig according to its actual role and dimensions, not the strength figure alone.

Can a lure be unclipped directly?

There is no snap on the swivel. Add a suitable separate connector or choose a combined snap swivel if quick changes are required.

How should I care for it after sea fishing?

Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Check free rotation, eyes and any clasp. Replace the component if it corrodes, deforms, binds or no longer closes correctly.
