snap swivels?

Postby glezga » Tue Aug 21, 2012 3:10 pm

hi all, newbie here! im having a go at making my own rigs.

are snap swivels only used for the end of the main line for ease of snapping rigs/lures etc or can they be used throught the rig like for attaching weights etc?

many thanks

Best bet is to call into your local tackle shop and tell him your looking to start making up your own rigs. They should point you in the right direction about what to get or not. If your based in Dublin pop into south side angling and they will help you out.

Glesga.... I presume your from there?
