sslopok Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerbe20 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I have ball bering swivels on everything. Just piece of mind that everything SHOULD be spinning freely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mainiac Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justhooked Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sslopok Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I replace the snaps on the bb swivels with duo locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would not run a single peice of gear without a good bearing swivel.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.

UBDSLO1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Over the past several years I have made a concerted effort to only buy American whenever possible.)Thanks guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
