who cares what they cost. ONLY terminal tackle I use and trust.
On a whim last year I tried the Tsunami barrel swivels that look just as nice as the Spros. They popped apart just tying the leaders, Junk.

Your is only as good as your swivels, clips and knot tying ability.

spro uses brass body and stainless wire ring, swivel, part I am pretty sure, Krok is all stainless. I use the kroks in all my plugbuilding and terminal tackle, unless I need to use an in between size that Spro has that krock doesn't, it is a length of swivel issue.

Another vote for 100% stainless steel Krok swivels.

I'd rather be fishing!
