Benefits of Using Barrel Swivels

1. Reduces line twist: A barrel swivel helps prevent twisting when using spinning lures, moving baits, ledger rigs or traces in current.
2. Helps build cleaner rigs: Use a swivel between your mainline and trace to make rig changes easier and keep terminal tackle organised.
3. Gives better size control: Smaller swivels suit lighter line and smaller presentations, while larger swivels suit stronger traces and heavier sinkers.
4. Works across many NZ fishing styles: Use them for trout spinning, estuary bait fishing, surfcasting, rock fishing and general boat fishing.
5. Useful for variable conditions: Choose a heavier swivel when fishing rough surf, strong current, larger baits or heavier sinkers.

Common Questions

• Q: Which size is best for general NZ bait fishing?
  A: The 25mm and 29mm options are good all-round choices for many shore, wharf, estuary and boat fishing rigs.
• Q: Do these have a snap clip attached?

Choose the 19mm size for lighter lure and bait work, the 25mm or 29mm sizes for general shore and boat rigs, and the 37mm or 44mm sizes when you need a heavier swivel for stronger traces, larger baits or rougher water.
