Is it a swivel with 2 built in crimps either side? Would be handy for tying rigs alright...
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

They look good. Veals are doing a range of them. Handy for tying rig on the go...

Mustad have a new version on the way with a clip on boom instead of the swivel. Used them to good effect for bream in Weymouth recently.

the grauvel ones are the best, i didn't like the mustad one as its hard to get a decent size in them, they don't seem to fit 50lb line.

Seen Breakaway doing a version with a rubber inside in the crimps to stop the line getting pinched.

You can get them quite big actually.
