Rated 5 out of 5 by Oberst Not failed yet
I went with these 175 pound barrel swivels to get around the atrocious cost of the ball bearing models. I've used them for deep water fishing in the Gulf, on 65 pound braid with 6 to 16 ounces of weight dropping into several hundred feet of water for amberjack and similar fish. Have caught many big fish like this, and lost plenty that were simply too big to handle, and have not had a single swivel failure yet. This is over 2 years of fishing and scores of big-fish hookups. I have locked my drag down to the max and had my 100 pound rated St. Croix Legend Salt rod bent to the absolute max, holding on for dear life to keep from being yanked out of the boat. Again, not a single failure. Easy 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crazy4Catfishing Very Nice Swivels
I keep 16 Leaders made up and stored on a styrofoam board for convenience while fishing (see the photo to the right). I use the #7 Barrel Swivels and 12 lb test line for my Leaders. The eye on each end of the swivel is large and makes threading 12 lb. test line that has been doubled, very easy. My wife and I used 4 rod & reels with these swivels to catch 84 freshwater Catfish and 30 Drum, 114 fish in all (see the photo to the right). We caught them within eight and a half hours during the day of 08-17-11. These swivels are the only ones we use. Needless to say, we recommend them.

Barrel swivels are very compact relative to line test rating. This is a problem with heavy lines, since the thickness may make it difficult to tie knots. Will a 25 lb. test mono fit the #3 (100 lb rated). swivel using an improved double clinch knot?

A:
I would think so, I use 80 and 100 pound mono on the 175 pound swivel and use an improved cinch with no problem.

sure, I use 75# swivel on 40#test leader.A:
Shouldn't be any problem at all . I was using them on both 50 lb. mono and 80 lb hollow braid , with no difficulty .
