For a variety of plug sizes more than likely you will need a variety of swivel sizes!  |

Didn't mean to sound like a wise a$$....but different types of plugs take different size swivels.  The most common size I use is the 330# spro.  |

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! |

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.

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. |

I completely agree. Pretty soon you're upgrading the plug, then the line...rod and even the reel. There's a lot of hidden cost in the SPRO...poser.
