Nash Micro Swivels – Size 12 | Gerry’s Fishing

Maximize your rig’s movement and efficiency with the Nash Micro Swivel – Size 12. In modern carp fishing, the smallest details often make the biggest difference, and these high-strength micro swivels are designed to provide the ultimate in free-spinning bait movement. Whether you are building complex technical rigs or simply looking to improve a standard hair rig, these swivels offer the performance and reliability you need.

Product Details and Uses

High strength zero glare micro swivels for optimum rig efficiency. These swivels are the perfect solution for anglers who demand precision in their end tackle.

The Size 12 Micro Swivel is primarily used to provide a 360-degree rotation for your hookbait. By allowing the bait to spin independently of the hook, it becomes much harder for a carp to use the weight of the bait to eject the hook once it has been pricked. Their “zero glare” matte finish ensures they remain inconspicuous on the lake bed, avoiding any metallic flashes that might spook wary, pressured fish in clear water. Their compact size makes them ideal for mounting hookbaits on the shank of the hook or for use in D-rig and Slip-D rig constructions.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

The Ultimate Blow-Back Upgrade: Instead of using a standard rig ring on the shank of your hook for a blow-back rig, try using a Size 12 Micro Swivel. The added swivel rotation allows your bait to spin 360 degrees, meaning no matter which angle the carp approaches from, the hook is always in the perfect position to “flip” and catch the bottom lip!

Examples of Where to Use

• D-Rig Presentations: The perfect pivot point for mounting wafters or pop-ups within a fluorocarbon or braid ‘D’ loop.

• On-the-Shank Bait Mounting: Slide the swivel directly onto the hook shank (held between two hook beads) for a highly effective and mobile bait setup.

• Ronnie / Spinner Rigs: Can be used for small, delicate versions of the Ronnie rig where a standard size 11 might be too bulky.

• Slip-D Rigs: Provides the essential movement required for the bait to slide along the ‘D’ during a fish’s attempt to eject the hook.

FAQs

Q: Are these swivels strong enough for large carp?A: Yes! Despite their “micro” size, they are built with high-strength alloys. They are designed to handle the pressure of big fish without the risk of pulling apart or distorting.

Q: Will these fit on all hook sizes?A: They are most commonly used with hook sizes 4 through 8. Because of their small profile, they don’t impede the gape of the hook, ensuring your hooking potential remains at its maximum.

Q: Why use a swivel instead of a rig ring?A: While rig rings allow for sliding movement, a micro swivel adds the benefit of rotation. If a carp picks up the bait and twists, the swivel prevents that torque from being transferred to the hook, which can sometimes “leverage” the hook out of the fish’s mouth
