Spro Swivels VRS Krok Swivels

As most of you know there has been a shortage of Spro swivels.
It seems Spro is not bringing any quanity (bulk)of their swivels to keep the price up.
We have added Krok swivels to our inventory to battle this and hopefully force Spro to thak their thumb out of their A**

Krok are the ONLY Company made from all Stainless Steel and have a higher Lb rating per size than Spro.They both have the same pewter finish. They are also equally as smooth as Spro.
For now I got the Krok 50 pks in sizes 1/0 , 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 10 and will have any quantity you want arriving in about 1 week.

I for got to mention they are Cheaper than Spro.

Is 1/0 the largest size they make? Not concerned about # test, just sometimes need the added swivel length on fatter plugs.

I will need to try these. I don't understand the spro business philosphy because they are going to loose customers if they can't supply them with product. I am going to try these krok products.

Does krok make a good 3-way swivel as well?

I have been buying expensive packs of 3 spro's and I need a few hundred. The spro 3-way is the best 3-way I have ever used but you can't get them any other way then 3 at a time it seems.
