Dr.Fish Ball Bearing Swivels with Snap, Snap Swivels Fishing Tackle Stainless Saltwater & Freshwater Coast Lock Fishing Clips Terminal Tackle Line Lure Leader Connector Accesories

Have bought these several times. They won’t fail like some others. My go-to snap swivel.

Hey Guys... Fisherman here. I'm not an Amazon reviewer so this is no BS.These swivels seem pretty good and I think worth the money. I bought the #7 which are rated for 200 lb Plus. I tied #80 mono (Ande) to both ends and gave it a stretch. Mono broke before the swivel. Swivel maintain perfect shape. Got 20 pieces in the package. There were no defects whatsoever. Every swivel seem to be perfect including the welded ring on one end. They look pretty damn nice. One bearing out of the 20 isn't "perfectly smooth". just a slight bump on 1.We'll see how they hold up to #100+ fish and the salt.Catchm Up.

Good ball bearing snap swivels for the money. I recommend lubricating the ball bearing swivels with Break Free or WD 40 if you want them to perform at their best. The lubricant doesn't chase fish away, it attracts fish if anything.I personally did some PERFORMANCE TESTS on all 20 of these #6 copper housings and black nickel finish ball bearing swivels. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UFMBKVQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00I was hoping to find a brand of snap swivels that performed better on Amazon and I liked that these Yoshikawa had copper housings and black nickel finish.I was trying to get smoother spinning than the other ball bearing snap swivels on Amazon that have stainless steel housings and a flaking chrome plating issues.RESULTS SUMMERY VS COMPETITOR: Yoshikawa by Dr.Fish Copper housing w/black nickel finish HAS SOME PIECES THAT ARE HIGHER PERFORMING BALL BEARING SWIVELS and higher pound rated Coastlock Snaps BUT SOME OF THESE BALL BEARING SWIVELS ARE OF AN UNACCEPTABLE DEFECTIVE LEVEL SO CUSTOMERS REALLY HAVE TO TEST AND SORT OUT THE DEFECTIVE ONES TO PREVENT FAILURE same as with even the highest priced and most popular Spro and Sampo brands.The other brand by VERY100 of slightly cheaper priced Stainless Steel housing with Silver Chrome plating that is flaking off has lower pound test rated due to Crane Duolock Snaps.Note: I did these same tests below a bunch of years ago on very expensive Spro brand and Sampo brand and they had more than their share of defective and low performing ball bearing swivels no different than these from China on Amazon at 1/4 the price.My Method of test: I hand spun a hanging 12 ounce lead fishing weight on each of your 20 snap swivels before adding any lubrication and also a few hours after lubricating them with Break Free Cleaner and Preservative aerosol. The only difference between before and after the lubricant was that only a few improved but some became a little worse. Over all your worst ones were considerably worse than the worse ones of your competitor and are not useable at all. Your best spinning ones were considerably better than your competitor. After testing ball bearing swivels to use for fishing and kite flying I have found it a necessity to test them to avoid the defective ones that perform unacceptably and use the best ones in the most critical applications. Keep in mind that my testing method holds the upper welded ring fixed and my lead weight does wobble a little different at times but yield pretty reliable repeatable results of each test. I've done quite a bit of double checking.Size #6 Yoshikawa by Dr.FishResults After Lubrication: All times are approximate and might be off by a second or two at most.

Good quality ball bearing swivels. I fish regularly and these are my go to.

There are not that many 500lb or larger snap swivels on Amazon. In fact I only found two. So I purchased both the Dr. Fish (500lb) and the American Fishing Wire (600lb) units. When My Dr. Fish order arrived the 500lb snap swivels were inside a bag that was labeled "250lb test", which caused some momentary concern. I contacted Dr. Fish to make sure my 500lb 10/0 swivels were actually 500lb test. Dr. Fish responded promptly and explained the miss-marked package.These 500lb snap swivels utilize .080" diameter wire that, despite the size, is still fairly easy to open with your bare hands. The ball bearing swivels are a thing of beauty and roll smooth as glass.So how do the AFW snap swivels compare to the Dr. Fish snap swivels? Well, there is a 100lb test difference so the Dr. Fish only uses .080" wire, and the Dr. Fish snap is significantly longer, which combine to make the snap easy to open with your hands. The AFW 600lb snap is so stiff, and short, that most people will need to use a pair of pliers to open them. Also Dr. Fish utilizes ball bearing swivels whereas the AFW swivel is a plain barrel swivel.I frankly like both units and cannot decide which is better, so I made half a dozen leaders out of 49 strand 7x7 stainless 600lb cable I also got from AFW and I am going gator hunting. We will soon know who is the master of 500lb plus snap swivels.

great product

These are cheap and well made, but harder to use than the kind where the end of the wire fits inside the hook. These also have a tendancy to catch and tangle on the line easier than the other kind.

These swivels work very well for preventing line twist.

These are very strong and work great. Use them in salt and fresh water.

Muy resistente la probé y soporto muy bien un pez vela

La calidad es excelente, mucho mejor a la esperada. No han presemtado corrosión pese a varios usos en agua salada.

NO ME LLEGO COMPLETO ME HACEN FALTA 10 PIEZAS NADA MAS ME LLEGARON 10 Y CUANDO LO COMPRE OFRECIERON 20 PIEZAS

No resisten, se deforman y sueltan bajo una tensión muy por debajo de la que dicen soportar y se oxidan rápidamente.
