huh, thats interesting. my only thoughts is it will add a tad of weight to the hook. try it out and let us know how it works

ever try using that thing that come's on all reel's?? called a drag. they work very well if used. save's on bent hook's and most hardware.

corrosion CS... corrosion. rosco's are not stainless.

The bent swivel was from hoisting a bass up a rock by the plug. It damaged the needlefish too.. left a nice V in the blank.

Nice plugs.

Over the years I've had swivels rip out/fail a number of times. Usually in smaller plugs (i.e., medium Dannys) although I've pulled one in a big Danny and even, I think, an Atom. All have been on just medium sized fish and always in older plugs, usually ones that had seen lots of use, so you are probably right about corrosion being a factor. I also think, however, that they rate swivels with a straight pull, but when used in a plug, particularly the front swivel gets strained at an extreme angle and is prone to fail. In spite of this I still often find myself using smaller swivels in plugs than I want, either to fit the grommet, or to not project too much, so I appreciate the lead on stronger hardwear.

Actually they will pop out if I throw one in a heavy rip like what you would have at the canal.... we have a few places down here with that kind of current and for that i throw jigs and darters, so i never have problems... Dannies for me are all about calm still water, V-wakes and quiet coves with boulder fields.
having 2 hooks really helps in the stabillity dept as well.
