Thanks for all the replies. The swivel went through the bottom part of the guide but the top part it doesn't. I would imagine that with enough tension that this wouldn't be a problem. I initiatily tried to reel it in without any weight and it rode up the guide and jammed. i may look into a wide mouth guide before putting on the copper.

I've got the Okuma Convector 55. I'm looking to join my copper to my backing to using a #3 spro heavy duty swivel and was wondering if anyone using the same setup has had problems with the swivel jamming on the reel guide?
