Duo locks or ball bearing snap swivels with spoons?

[sslopok]

I have been using duo locks to attach spoons to my rigger rods. Should I be using good ball bearing swivel snaps?

On my free sliders i have duo locks on each end, should I have use snap swivels on either end?

Just making sure I am running everything the right way.

Thanks

I have ball bering swivels on everything. Just piece of mind that everything SHOULD be spinning freely

I buy quality welded ring ball bearing swivels and put my own Duo Lock snaps on them. But I would not run a single peice of gear without a good bearing swivel.

I've seen flashers get twisted off from not using ball bearing swivels. I agree with josh and run all ball bearing swivels on everything.

I had a brain fart. I was looking at stuff getting it ready for pt. Sanilac in a.m. I have ball bearing swivels on everything except free sliders. I am changing those right now. Thanks guys!!

I replace the snaps on the bb swivels with duo locks.

That is exactly right, don't fall for the cheap swivels, and dont buy swivels with unwelded split rings. I used to use Sampo swivels but now use some I found with welded rings. Size 3 and 4 work best for me. don't buy bargain swivels. I pay about 6 bucks for 3 swivels.

ditto the other posts, I use Sampo as well. I hate to tackle, so why use a 50 cent swivel that will cost you in the end.

I am having a hard time finding good, stainless swivels with welded rings that are made in the US. Anyone got a brand they recommend? (Over the past several years I have made a concerted effort to only buy American whenever possible.)

Thanks guys...

I quite using Sampo's as I had 2 of them break apart at the casing around the ball bearing. I have been using the Dreamweaver's and have been happy with them.
