Parker Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I continue to have line twist issues with the snells on my lindy rigs. I attach the snell to a ball barrel swivel. At first I thought it was a speed issue, so I make sure I go as slow as possible. I still get twist. I am thinking the swivel is the problem. I am using cheap, small swivels. Would it make sense to go to a larger swivel? What else could I try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmn Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I had the same problem,I was told to try better ball bearing swivels .Salesman recomeneded a cheaper swivel called SPRO and it has been working good.I have been using a smaller size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Haley Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I use a size 7 crane swivel and don't have twisting issues or performance because of the larger swivel issues either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Make sure you put a bead in between your swivel and your sinker. That will help quite a bit if you're not already doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 yes a bead and a ball BEARING swibel will help a lot.. barrel swivels are nice. but not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
