Rosco 34 Coastlock- Have never had one fail. If it ain't broke....

Spro Power Swivel 230lb #2
(The problem I have found with the smaller spro swivels is the knot tied onto the swivel is always the weak point. I ran some pull tests & it seems the thin gauge of the wire used on the smaller swivels cut the line. The line was practically folded over on itself & the wire acted as a knife edge.)
