Swivels

Sea Swivels at Gerrys Fishing

At Gerrys Fishing we know a good swivel keeps your rig turning and your line untwisted. Our sea swivels range covers rolling swivels, crane swivels, barrel swivels, snap swivels and three‑way swivels, in corrosion‑resistant finishes and a full spread of sizes so you can build rigs that work on UK beaches, estuaries and boat marks.

Types and when to use them

Different swivel types suit different jobs. Rolling swivels are compact and strong for general rigs; crane swivels give a slim profile and high strength for leader joins; barrel swivels are simple and robust for heavier work; snap swivels speed up terminal changes and are handy for quick rig swaps. We stock link and pulley swivels for specialist pulley rigs and cascade systems too.

Choosing the right size and strength

Swivel size matters — small sizes (6–8) are used between hooklengths and rig bodies, while larger sizes (1, 1/0 and above) are used at the top of heavy shore or boat rigs. Match swivel strength to the fish and ground: use larger, stronger swivels for big cod, conger or shark work and smaller, lighter swivels for LRF and light rock fishing. Always check manufacturer breaking strains and pick the lightest swivel that gives the required strength to reduce bulk and improve presentation.

Materials, finishes and saltwater care

For sea use choose stainless or nickel‑plated swivels and look for sealed or ball‑bearing options where smooth rotation matters. Rinse swivels and snaps in fresh water after each trip, dry and store in labelled packets to avoid corrosion and tangles. Replace any swivel that shows wear or stiffness — a seized swivel can cost you a fish.

Practical tips from Gerrys Fishing

  • Carry a selection: a few sizes of rolling, crane and snap swivels covers most sessions.
  • Trap small swivels between beads and crimps for neat, strong joins on multi‑hook rigs.
  • Use snap swivels for quick lure or feeder changes but avoid oversize snaps that weaken the link.
    These quick checks keep rigs reliable and reduce lost fish on the day.

 

FAO

  • Which swivel for running ledger rigs? Use a size 1 or 1/0 rolling or crane swivel at the top of the rig for strength and low profile.
  • Which swivel between hooklengths? Small size 6 or 8 swivels trapped between beads and crimps are standard practice.
  • How to store swivels? Rinse, dry and keep in labelled packets or a rig wallet to prevent corrosion and mix‑ups
