CENTRO Brass Heavy-Duty Wind On SWIVEL 450lb/205kg
When big-game fishing, heavy leaders often become necessary for a couple of reasons: to prevent the fish from breaking or chafing through the leader under the duress of the fight, and also to allow the leaderman or angler to better control the fish at boat-side. You should always use the lightest leader you can get away with to encourage more strikes, but you must also make a fundamental decision about how the leader gets attached to the main line.
The old-school method of attaching leader to line involved using a sturdy snap swivel to connect the two. You simply tie the swivel onto the double line, usually with an offshore swivel knot, crimp a loop into the upper end of the leader, and snap the two together. Proponents of this method point out that it’s the strongest, most reliable way to go with a very low failure rate. But you are limited by the length of the leader you’ve rigged in terms of bringing the fish close to the boat, and it requires the wireman to physically pull the fish to boat-side by grabbing the leader the last few feet to either harvest or release it.
Wind on Swivels are way to go.
These compact heavy-duty swivels pass easily through most rod guides. These swivels result in cleaner releases and less fish lost at the rail.
for example,Wind-on leaders are usually made for seamless connection between your main line and leader, so that you can reel a fish all the way up close to your rod tip when landing or releasing.There is one time where we always include a swivel in our wind-on leader system: when we are chunking dead bait for bluefin tuna. Unlike all of the other wind-on leader applications such as trolling and live baiting, retrieving chunked dead bait can cause severe twist in your main line and leader. To help reduce line twist, we connect the wind-on leader to the main line with a high quality Heawy Duty Wind on Swivel.
