Swivel 13 kg – 50pcs

Product detailed description

This swivel has a stated rating of 13 kg and connects sections of fishing tackle while allowing them to rotate relative to each other. Use it in suitable rigs and DIY lures with a rotating component. Its purpose is to separate the rotation of a moving part from the attached material and reduce the transfer of twist. Each pack contains 50 swivels.

On a bladed lure, the rotating connection must move freely. The blade creates resistance and flash, while the swivel lets it turn without forcing the entire body to rotate in the same way. A sticking connection can impair action, especially during a slow retrieve. Check start-up on the completed assembly with its actual blade and connecting ring.

The 13 kg rating applies to the swivel itself. Also consider eye dimensions, the connection method, knots and the strength of other components. Two swivels with the same stated rating may have different shapes and may not seat in the same mold. For ordinary leader connections, consider component weight in relation to the finesse of the rig.

One documented application is Spin Jig lure building: the manufacturer lists item 3008 for F15, F151, F229 and F147. In these assemblies it must seat correctly, and its rotating section must remain functional after casting and painting. Check the individual specification of any other mold. Beyond cast lures, this component can serve other rotating rig connections where its dimensions are appropriate.

Check the eyes and smooth rotation before assembly. When casting, both the swivel and mold must be completely dry; follow the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep paint clear of the moving section. Remove dirt after fishing, rinse with fresh water after sea use and allow the assembly to dry. Replace any swivel with a distorted eye or irregular movement.

Specifications and use overview

Test the first assembly before repeating production. The connection must allow the intended movement without binding or contact between the hook and rotating section. Assess dimensions and strength together with the actual eyes, hooks and leader used.

Its function is to reduce the transfer of twist. Performance depends on free rotation and correct rigging.

Why does the blade struggle to start?
