The Japanese made Superline Swivel offers a superior strength to size ratio and an NSB (nickel silver black) coating is applied for a stealthy finish that resists corrosion, in fresh or saltwater. Swivels are available in sizes 10 to 1, with break strengths of 35 to 330 pounds. Whether you chase Bluegill or Bigeye, Gamakatsu has a swivel for you.
Anglers that enjoy the quick-change nature of snap swivels can choose from duo or cross lock versions paired with Gamakatsu’s new Superline Swivel. Freshwater anglers, and those employing light tackle out in the brine, will gravitate toward the lightweight duo lock snap, rated from 35- to 120-pound test, in sizes from 12 to 5. Those chasing larger quarry will appreciate the beefier construction of the cross lock snap swivel, in sizes 7 to 2, testing from 75 to 230 pounds.
