blll Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Having poured hundreds of drop shot sinkers this winter, I would get an occasional swivel that would not spin. My last order of swivels, (Do It brand from Barlow's) put the failure rate up to 15%. Really made for a long pour session and wasted $$. They just would not spin. I've used less expensive swivels from Ebay but they seemed slightly smaller. Anyone else noticed an increase in "bad" swivels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yes, that is why I quit making them. Rather buy them then be frustrated with the non spinners, all the grip swivels I bought were about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had an issue with them. Now if your package says Do-It Molds on it, call them up (Do-It Molds) and tell them the problem. They are very good at customer service and they will help you re-solve your problem. Edited February 10, 2019 by cadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Fishing Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Bill, PM me your info (email and/or order number) and we'll get you taken care of. Our drop shot swivels are sourced from Do-it, so you shouldn't be seeing a failure rate that high. Matt Barlow 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blll Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just a shout out to Barlow's Tackle. No fault of theirs but they sent me drop shot swivels to replace my bad ones, unsolicited. Real customer service. Thanks Matt! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
