Tagger 02-09-2005, 09:33 PM larger plugs Rosco 2/0 (nickel plated) 225 lb. test smaller plugs Rosco 1/0 (nickel plated) 175lb.test http://hooks@terminaltackleco.com/swivels/swivsnaps.asp nickel plated personal preference,,a little flash can't hurt .. If you have some money to spend Spro power Swivel size #1 will cover most the bases,,330 lb. test .. pm mike at M&D's.. good source right here... pmueller 02-09-2005, 09:52 PM Thanks again to all BigFish 02-09-2005, 10:25 PM Spro is the best swivel money can buy...stainless and durable! Plus they just look fabulous on a plug...unlike other swivels that can make a plug look....cheap!;) Jetty Hopper 02-10-2005, 07:54 AM SPRO is the go to swivel lately. There is alot of talk about the Krock swivel from Sea Striker, which I think is the same as the SPRO in size and power. tlapinski 02-10-2005, 08:00 AM Originally posted by pmueller Big Fish, What makes you choose a Spro over others?? I'll second Spro swivels as a top choice. I don't build plugs, but I absolutley destroyed a bunch of Rosco swivels last season in plugs. I have had the loops pull right out of the middle part, I have a bunch that now have oval loops instead of round, and most end up corroding after a season. I bought a bunch of big Spros from MikeCC to re-wire some of last year's warriors. NIB 02-11-2005, 08:27 AM I only use the spro's lately i still got some 2/0 rosco's to use up i like the 1/0 spro 370lb if that don't fit well i use the size1 spro 330 lb.i'm italian where more is better.i remember sayin hello to donny mussso 2 yrs ago in M an i had his darta on my rod he told me that was a older one as the new ones have the spro's.that was enough for me.i know they cost more but whats pennies.when u make a dozen plugs a yr. pmueller 02-14-2005, 10:59 AM NIB, If that defines Italian, then I got alot of that in me too! Thanks for all the replies. Pencils 02-15-2005, 02:53 PM Does anyone know where I can get size 1 spro's 330lb in a 50 pack or more?

There's a lot of hidden cost in the SPRO...poser. :laugha: -spence justplugit 02-15-2005, 06:13 PM Originally posted by Bernzy Right here: http://www.capecodtackle.com/Merchant/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=cct01&Product_Code=SPRO+SWIVELS++50&Category_Code=05_01_MISC+HOOKS Those are very good prices on the Spros:hihi: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
