Mighty Mini Crane Swivels (100-Percent Stainless Steel)

really good quality swivels landed a 60lb catfish with no issues

These swivels are insanely strong for their size. Very cleanly made. Brilliant for reel on rigs. The #1/0 - 511lb pass the tip rings of most of my boat rods. Be aware, a mono to metal eye connection is heavily compromised when the diameter of the metal eye no longer exceeds the diameter of the mono. The metal will cut through the mono. Be aware, skippers like something they can get their gloves on.

Look good ,only used them for a couple of weeks,seem to work well.

Don't let the diminutive size discourage you from trying these, they are strong. The #7 I ordered, have handled musky up to 44" and rotated freely under load. As noted by another reviewer, they're tiny, but swivels come in standard sizing, so you know how big they are when you buy them. If you need a larger swivel, buy a numerically lower size until you get to 1/0, then they go numerically higher. Eg.#7 is smaller than #5 however #2/0 is small than #3/0, the same progression that applies to a fish hook.

I bought the #14 swivels. They are very small, but strong. American Fishing Wire rates them at 74 lbs, which is way more than I will need for Bass fishing!

Simply the best they have never let me down like some other Swivels have,as you can see I use 3 to each gang of hooks so each section has to hold up under stress and these little beauties do. Cheers

Muy resistentes a pesar de el tamaño, excelente calidad, altamente recomendado.

As the previous reviewers mentioned, these swivels are incredibly small for their rated strength. If someone had shown me some of the #12 100 lb swivels prior to my purchasing them I would have had a hard time believing that they would test out at more than 25 or 30 lbs. In terms of scale, the 100 lb swivels would fit right in with 10-17 lb mono line/leaders. I have no doubt that tying even 50 lb mono to the #12 swivels will cause your experienced fishing friends to laugh out loud until you prove to them that the swivels are actually rated at twice the strength of the mono! My only concern would be that the tiny eyes on the #12 swivels might actually cut through mono or braid if they are used at or near their rated strength. I also bought a number of the #7 180 lb swivels. They would match up much better in terms of scale with 40-80 lb mono or larger diameter braid. The fit and finish of the swivels is also very good. They seem to be built better than most competing products. Of course, there's always the chance that AFW is grossly over-stating the strength of the swivels, but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that, if used with line/leader material that doesn't visually and/or physically overwhelm the swivels, there is almost no chance that one of them will ever let go. It should add a degree of confidence knowing that these swivels are very unlikely to ever wind up being the weak link in any chain of terminal tackle.
