After a recent trip to a faraway location, one of our editors described a tournament angler who returned to the dock with a sad tale involving a gigantic black marlin and a busted barrel swivel that cost him the win. While we can't offer any sympathy for anyone who would fish for big game using a barrel swivel, we can offer an alternative that won't leave him hanging the next time: Sea Buoy Pro-Series Ball Bearing Swivels.
Rated from 330 to 640 pounds - the strongest in the industry - Sea Buoy Pro-Series Ball Bearing Swivels represent the ''elite'' version of the Aussie swivel that has become the mainstay of professional anglers worldwide. The streamlined design makes them great for all trolling applications, while the unmatched swiveling action provides fewer tangles for live-baiters.
They are available in sizes from 7-mm to 10.5-mm, with double-welded rings, and come in a black nickel finish.
