Non-stainless swivels?

Hi dudes,

Building my first 4 plugs, and bought some Billfish swivels as hardware. They aren't stainless steel, but they are about 225 pounds strong.

Does it matter if they're not stainless? Even if I rinse the plugs thoroughly after use?

95% of the swivels on the market are not stainless they are Brass alloy. Your swivels will be fine
