There has never been a time that this has broken, even when casting from jetties.

I fished them hard when i was throwing tins... they would not take the abuse... a pack of 12 would last me all but maybe 2 weeks... and at i think they were $10.

End result would be a non-swiveling swivel...
The larger ones were ok but not when the blues arrived.... blues love to target shinny things.

maybe they have come a long way from 5-7years ago but i'm happy with spro's and kroks...

Generally a fan of Spro. Low profile and strong. Haven't failed one yet.

Really prefer ones that aren't loaded questions or sale pitches
