Question 1

what pound test are the swivels?

Accepted Answer

Size #2 is 230 pound test!  Understand that I am a commercial fisherman and the size of Spro swivels I purchase has nothing to do with its strength.  The strength of these swivels are so great that,unless you are going blue water fishing, it is really academic.  I purchase the size of a swivel that suits my purpose.    For example, if I was to use 30 pound test mono line, I would not purchase any size smaller than a #4  (130 pound test) since the stainless steel eye is so fine it would create a weak spot in the mono line where it wraps around the eye.  These swivels which come in packs of fifty which is usually more cost effective than purchasing smaller numbers in a pack.  While not a ball bearing swivel, they turn so smoothly and are so compact, that I would never go back to using any other swivel.

Question 2

How do they hold up for sailing?  Where do you use them?  How have the held up?

Accepted Answer

They are for fishing, you use them in the water to catch fish. They hold up well if you use them for what they are made for.

Question 4

Has anyone landed a big fish with these, like a 25# king salmon?  don't get me wrong, i'm a spro fan, but i'm surprised how tiny they are. thanks!

Accepted Answer

I fish in the ocean with them and have landed a  6 foot tiger shark and have taken massive strikes. This is my swivel of choice..  The swivel is solid and is super strong.  Your 100 lbs line or the knots that you tie will fail before this Spro Swivel,
