Which swivel for plugs?

Wed Apr 07, 2010 12:46 pm

I know most people don't like using swivels when lure fishing, but I am lazy and like to be able to change lures quickly so i use a swivel at the end of my line to attach my lures. Which swivel would be best when plugging or are they all the same? any help will be much appreciated.

Anto.

I am sure the illex will be more than sufficent they are also a quality product stick to the better end of things if you can possibly, cheaper in the long run and gives you more confidence in your fishing nothing worse that droping a good fish due to poor line, clips ect.. They dont come very often...

I used to use those JB clips. They are very good and very very strong.

Pat from Henrys recommended those Hyper 8 clips to me last year and Ive used nothing else since. Very good clip...no swivel but is there a need for one????

Any quality link should be fine, Igenerally pop the swivel off ,not really needed as plugs don't twist the line.
I bought a pack of those twist busters for spinning,they nwere small and looked perfect but I just could not open them,
they were that good every time I put any pressure on the clip they swivelled!!!there in the bin now.
