GLF Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 What size and strength snap swivel is everyone using on their lines? What brand are you using? Sampo???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawnwalker Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Sampo no. 3 with the welded ring. Have'nt had any problems with them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted March 8, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixshooter Posted March 8, 2006 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fowlplay Posted March 27, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptLevi Posted March 28, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
