Welcome to

sizes. We here at SoCal buy in bulk and are able to provide you the
consumer a great price break on most bands and styles. More bands and
their products we be available shortly including custom tapered crimps

Terminal Tackle , General description; Swivels and combination of Snaps
that aid in changing lures/leaders, preventing twist in the line during
trolling and or add a connection between fishing lines.
History; Likely goes as far back to the day fishermen started
developing twist in the line from retrieving natural and artificial
offerings presented to fish. Modern applications are many as are
materials,styles and sizes. Here are a few examples of those uses.

Corkscrew and Mcmahon Snaps Swivels used here to prevent twist in the
line while trolling and also making for quick lure change when need.

Other uses can be to make a stopper when fishing with weighted rigs.
Here depicted is a Rosco Barrel Swivel used with a sliding egg sinker.
Important note on Swivels is; be sure to read up on or ask other
anglers when using certain lures with swivels. Sometimes the use of a
swivel may severely change the action of the lure, making it not as
effective. As with Iron, one should never use such a connection when
fishing that style of lure.
More to follow soon....
