American Fishing Wire Mighty Mini Crane Swivels - Fishing Line Essential, Compact Fishing Tackle, Saltwater Swivels, Stainless Steel Swivel, Holding Power up to 511lb, Gunmetal Black

These are as good as Spro Power Swivels if not better and I fished the Spro's for years. If you are looking for a crazy strong swivel that is compact and streamlined this is it. I use the 220lb version on jigs for tuna and they're perfect. I can then turn and also use them bottom fishing because they don't add any drag. I've used the 50lb for trolling Clark spoons for mackerel inshore and they are perfect. It's just a very good product.PLEASE don't buy cheap Amazon non-brandname swivels. Or hooks, snaps, line, etc. You will lose fish, expensive lures, etc. There are probably 20 brands on Amazon carrying identical swivels made in the same facility. They absolutely will cost you fish. If I can break a 200lb swivel by hand tightening down a knot, imagine what even an average fish would do it. It's not worth a few dollars to lose fish and these are an incredible value as it is. There are other places to save money fishing, don't use your terminal tackle to do so.

These swivels have amazing strength for their size. Their secret, that's not so secret, is that they are 100% stainless steel. The stainless steel bodies on these instead of brass bodies like on other "stainless steel"swivels is what lets them be so strong and yet so small.As an engineer who deals with different types of materials regularly, I was somewhat baffled as to why most stainless steel swivels had such a low breaking strength rating. As I researched and found that most of them use brass bodies, I guessed that there may be some ultra premium swivels out there from manufacturers who had built the tooling to deal with the more difficult forming of stainless and were likely charging 10x the price or more for their products. I am often making custom spinners that need strength or stealthy presentations where smaller hardware is a definite advantage, so I was entirely willing to spend a lot if I could find swivels made of 100% stainless so they could be both strong and small.I found the products that I was looking for from AFW and they aren't much more expensive than the run-of-the-mill swivels that claim to be stainless but are partially brass so they have to be larger and weaker. These swivels are absolutely outstanding. Being a skeptical engineer, I did test the strength on a couple of each size. Every single one was at least as strong as their rating. They are so strong that my challenge in testing was trying to fit something through the tiny eyes on the swivels that would be strong enough to not break before the swivels broke.I am sure that there's a very slight risk of the line being tied to these swivels breaking a tiny bit sooner due to being tied around smaller wire on these swivels than on other, larger swivels with similar or lower breakage ratings. That's physics within the line material, though, not a fault with these swivels. If that concerns you, just use a bigger size. For whatever physical size you choose, these swivels will be stronger than any others.These should cost more for the quality difference vs competitive products. They should also be marketed much better. It took me hours of research trying to find truly 100% stainless swivels and snap swivels. I was even considering that it might be an unmet market need and therefore a business opportunity that I could take on myself. Once I found these, though, there's no way that it would be worth the design and tooling development cost to make a product as good as these. I'm going to stock up on these before this AFW addresses this sales and marketing miss.With over 30 years of engineering experience and over 40 years of fishing, I can say it's rare to find a product that is just superior to others for nearly any use case. This is one of those products.

Probably overkill for what I used them for, but I took these to SE Alaska and they preformed admirably with everything that took a bite - mostly 12-14inch rainbows, but no issues from the swivels.

I have used them in a variety of smaller leaders. I haven't tested them to strength and they are soo small I'm afraid to use them on anything even approaching half of what they're rated for.

Great swivels its definitely smaller than other companies which means you can up size to a heavier lb test

I ordered 78lbs and it was too tiny that my 60lbs Fourocarbon just fit in the hole. So I decided to return it and ordered this 310lbs swivel. now it is the size of what cheap 70lbs swivel is. oh, wait! isn't it a good thing it is small and strong? so I am keeping 78lbs tiny swivels for my fresh water tackles.I threw away all of my swivels that I had and replaced with this MIGHTY MINI swivels. now I have more peace in mind that it will hold more than I need in even smaller appearance. my friend's 200lbs cheap soft metal swivel looks giant compared to mine.

cheaper then walmart!!!!

Can’t wait to use this for spring tuna on east coast. This company makes quality products for all big game fishing needs. Have purchased a few of their terminal tackle merchandise. All and all quality across the board.

Super qualité

These swivels are insanely strong for their size. Very cleanly made.Brilliant for reel on rigs. The #1/0 - 511lb pass the tip rings of most of my boat rods.Be aware, a mono to metal eye connection is heavily compromised when the diameter of the metal eye no longer exceeds the diameter of the mono. The metal will cut through the mono.Be aware, skippers like something they can get their gloves on.

Muy resistentes a pesar de el tamaño, excelente calidad, altamente recomendado.

Simply the best they have never let me down like some other Swivels have,as you can see I use 3 to each gang of hooks so each section has to hold up under stress and these little beauties do.Cheers
