Hi Everyone,

I wasn't sure if I should post this in the forums, so here it is.

This guy has all kinds of different sizes and types of snaps and snap swivels.

These are NOT those cheap Wal-Mart types.

These are look-a-like to Sampo's.

I order a pack of 100 #48 pound test in black... These are really nice ! !

And at .35 cents each including shipping, you can't go wrong.

And Yes I am in the process of testing these for strength and endurance.

Gonna torture some of them here at home, in the shop with a scale and see

how well the hold up.

Let me know what you guys think. Bill.

SHU plz let me know how your testing goes, as this is one cant go fishing without it and is one of the most expensive running a close second to $4 gal marnia gas pump price!!!!

OK Everyone, I finally got some results. (I've been busy, sorry)

I tried these swivels, and I could NOT get them to break! !

When I attempted to do a pull test on them, all I managed to do was get the loop, where you lure would be hooked up, NOT to open. Instead of coming open, the wire "cross lock" slid down the wire forming a very small loop at the bottom. BUT, It did NOT come open ! ! !

I tested these buy, placing the snap (lure end) over a nail, and exerting approx: 100# of force on them. And instead of opening or breaking apart, the wire simply reformed itself into a smaller loop.

I feel pretty good about these, and I will be using them on my boats tis year.

I hope this saves some money for you guys.

Bill.
