clemmy Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I've heard some good things about these, and would like to compare them price/quality wise with Sampo. However, all I've been able to find is their regular barrel type or their heavy duty power swivels.... Anyone have experience with them or a supplier? Thanks!

piddler Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 In my opinion, they're not as good as sampo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Crasher Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Sampo is still the best, but these are really close. I've been using the size 2 on spinnerbaits from Bass size to Musky size (#7 willows) and I haven't had a bad one in two seasons. So far, so good!

jitterbug Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Can anyone tell me of a good supplier for ball bearing swivels. I need to order them in bulk of 1000 at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I use the ones from Janns. I have not had a bad one in the 300-400 that I have ordered. $5.55/12 or $56.40/144 Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I tried a hundred pack of the Spro black swivels...its a good swivel and worth checking into yourself. I have been using them on my own personal baits but still use good ol' Worth swivels on the rest. I would never use Sampo swivels, the cost is ridiculous compared to market comparisons. I know everyone thinks Sampo is best but I get no complaints with the worth brand...kinda like how alot of fishermen love gamakatsu hooks but have no issues with a mustad. The real shame is the undeserved reputation of any ball bearing swivel compared to the simple crane swivel which is cheaper and longer lasting.

topher Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I have a supplier for imported BB swivels, they are not as good as Sampo or Worth, never tried Spro, anyways, I have a lot of 1000 size 1's with split rings up on ebay for $150. I have paid that before, plus excise tax, so I figure its a good deal... anywho... Other Suppliers include: Lakeland Battlefield Wire Co. Hagen's Worth I know of a few more, but I am tired : Here is the link to my store incase you would like to shop. http://stores.ebay.com/C-n-R-Tackle-and-Supply_W0QQsspagenameZL2QQtZkm Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Good point Jim, now that I am reviewing the topic of discussion, I like the worth swivels a lot too, I just wish they would make them a little bigger to use for my musky spins.
