So one thing i notice while shopping swivels is that of those rated >25# they're bulky and expensive.  The spro power swivel in that pic is a size 7 rated at 75#, seems to spin freely, and is tiny compared to others rated at 1/2 the weight.  a 10 pack was under $5 (cabelas). the red snap is on the large side and will be replaced.  Did you know KF made mention of this nickel Ti wire in his BWJ article "down deep" back in 2010? Never noticed it before but after a re-read it jumped off the page.    (You need to Login or Register
