GLF Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 What size and strength snap swivel is everyone using on their lines? What brand are you using? Sampo????
Spawnwalker Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Sampo no. 3 with the welded ring. Have'nt had any problems with them yet.
McFly Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Tiara, The swivels with the welded rings will usually be a higher # test than one with split rings. Opti-Tackle has some real nice bb swivels. Real important to keep the line from twisting.
Sixshooter Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 I've had good luck with Lee's and the Berkly ones. Sampo's are a great swivel...However at five dollars a piece I have a hard time thinking they are worth it. But to each their own....The guys that use them swear by them...but i'm a cheapscape.
GLF Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 They are not that much. Fishdog Company had them at the Birch Run show for $22 for 12 of them. I think they are $24.99 on their site. Cabela's is some where's around $26, or $27 for 12.
Sixshooter Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 okay then....2 dollars a peice....still seems steep for me...
fowlplay Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I am changing over to the Sampo's this year just cuz I want the coastlock style versus the standard style that opened up on me three times last year.
CaptLevi Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I just run a line with 50 lb. fireline or wire through the pack, harvest all the Sampo's, and then throw back the lures! I gotta make ends meet somehow!
