Description
Losing fish on the ascent because they twist off is bad for the fish. Eliminate fish twisting off when using Ball Bearing Swivels 8. Barrel swivels are much lighter than ball bearing swivels, but will still help with balance and line twist. They do not, however, have the smoothness to correct a fast-running lure as quickly as a ball bearing swivel because they do not have any internal bearings.
The addition of the safety snap makes it easy to attach your rigs or lures which will swim naturally without restriction. Safety Snaps resist opening under tension and break above listed values. These components make for easy rigging and can be used on a variety of leaders or other terminal tackle options. Ball bearing swivels are much more effective at preventing line twists than regular swivels. However, they might not be worth it considering they’re slightly more expensive. If you use spoons correctly, they shouldn’t spin anyway.
Usage:
Some disadvantages of ball bearings are their lower load capacity when compared to roller bearings. Ball bearings are prone to misalignment and increased sensitivity to shock loads. Also, ball bearings are less capable of handling heavy axial loads.
The ball bearing races keep the swivel sleeve and body aligned and allow the swivel to rotate around its axis. Because the two parts of the swivel can rotate, system components connected to the two ends of the swivel can also rotate freely. They also rotate independently around the swivel’s axis. In general, for bass fishing, it’s recommended to use swivels in sizes ranging from 2 to 4. These sizes suit most bass fishing scenarios, providing a good balance between strength and maneuverability. However, if you’re targeting larger trophy bass or using heavier tackle, opt for a larger swivel from 4 to 6.
The Ball Bearing Swivels 8 have a strength rating of 40 pounds and that’s generally acceptable because the line will break before the swivel.
