What is your favorite swivel, say for 10 lb test line? I want a swivel that will absolutely keep line twist from happening. Ball bearing?
Thanks for any input.

Small ball bearing swivel with welded rings
I care not for those with split rings

Depending on the application, you also might want to look into keel-style trolling weights. Good way to avoid a twisty main line, but you still need a quality swivel to Jew your leader from fouling.

Sampo's welded ring no contest. Expensive but worth it, no swivel is perfect, the beaded swivels are great for trolling but they wear and I have had them break. All swivels work better if you keep them lubed.

Sampos sound great, and I wanted to know how expensive:

i agree the p-line rolling swivels are the bomb, been using them for years

for trout I use the size 12 when trolling from kayak and size 14 when casting in streams with lighter line

The small Sampos with split rings sound good. I'm putting them onto Little Cleos that I toss for Klamath salmon. I don't like to use a snap. Just the main line to the swivel, and the swivel to the Cleo via the split ring.
Thanks for the input.

That's a great price! I have found several things recently that were actually more $ on ebay than on o'er online vendors. Good to see some deals can be had.

What about those bead chain swivels?  MooMoo talks them up in his videos, but they seem kind of hard to find in local shops.

I've had a hard time finding them when I want them, only ones I have came with a krippled anchovy and a dodger.
