Swivels, Snaps and Split Rings

Hiro snaps and swivels now in stock (see below).
See the split ring pliers here and the sunglasses here.


Power Snap   STAY-LOK™ POWER SNAPS (black)
Size 5 (300lb) (10 pack): £4.00
Size 4 (250lb) (10 pack): £3.75
Size 3 (200lb) (10 pack): £3.50
Size 2 (100lb) (10 pack): £3.25
Size 1 (50lb) (10 pack): £3.00
Stainless steel wire with rounded end for better lure movement and a unique locking system. A little tricky to open and close at first, but once you have the knack they are simple to use. Better still they are neat and strong. Will to do to other snaps what Power Swivels have done to ordinary swivels - make them obsolete. Size 4 for jerkbaits and big lures, size 3 for medium lures/bait fishing, size 2 for light lures/bait fishing. Size 5 for those trips to foreign climes!

  SMART LOCK SNAPS
Size 5/100lb (10 pack): £2.00
Size 3/70lb (10 pack): £1.50
Size 2/45lb (10 pack): £1.50

A new twist on an old style. Bench tests prove these to be strong enough for any piking application. At a little over one inch (28mm) in length for the size 5 they are suitable for medium-large lure fishing. The design of the snap is such that it can be fitted through the eye of any of my jig heads, which is a first in a snap this strong.

The size 3 also fits through jig eyes and is suitable for small to medium lures and for bait fishing.

Size 2 for lighter jobs.


HIRO STAINLESS STEEL DUO-LOCK STYLE SNAPS:
Size 1 £1.10
per ten
Size 2 £1.10 per ten
Size 3 £1.10 per ten

A trusted design for lighter lures.


HOOKED SNAP LINK (per 10) : 80p
Small size for attaching bombs to leger beads, or sliding floats to swivels.

HIRO ROLLSNAP:
Size 8 £1.10
per four

A quick change snap/swivel all in one. No need to open the snap just clip the leader swivel or lead straight on.

 

NB just to confuse this size eight has a swivel part the size of a 10 Power Swivel.

Larger size due in January 2008


CORKSCREW SWIVEL:
Size 8 £2.50
per ten

Similar to the Rollsnap but with more turns.

NB this size eight has a swivel part the size of a size 8 Power Swivel.


Power Swivels

(Not to scale)
POWER SWIVELS
Sizes 8 (195lb), 10 (100lb), 12 (60lb), 14 (45lb):
All £1.00 per 10, £4.25 per 50
The swivel that has made all others obsolete! Neat, round, stainless steel eye for strength and reliability. The thicker wire of these swivel eyes makes for improved knot strength in comparison with other swivels of similar size. Sizes 8 or 10 for general fishing - I use the 8s on my crankbait traces. Size 12 or 14 for ultralight or fly traces, or other rig applications.

MAGNUM POWER SWIVELS
Size 5 (295lb): £1.25 per 10, £5.25 per 50
The jerkbaiter's perfect swivel. Also suitable for other heavy predator fishing situations. Simply the best. No question.

MEGA POWER SWIVELS Size 2 (700lb): £1.75 per 10
The continental cat, Nile perch, or sturgeon hunter's dream swivel. Already tested by sturgeon to 135lb!


LARGE EYE SWIVELS : £2.95 per 50
A rolling type swivel with one big eye and one size 8 eye. I add a Hooked Snap or paper-clip for a free running lead attachment - but there must be other uses....

Not recommended for attaching to hooklinks. See here.


THREE WAY SWIVEL:
Size 12 £1.00
per ten

Similar in size to a size 8 Power Swivel for some strange reason.



OWNER BALL BEARING SNAP SWIVELS

(Not to scale)
Size 1 (35lb/16kg), Sizes 2 (50b/23kg), Sizes 3 (100lb/45kg), Sizes 4 (115lb/52kg).
£3.00 per pack of 2
Welded rings for strength, ball bearings for smooth turning. Simply remove the snap and you have the hardware to make up anti-twist lure leaders. More rounded loop than many similar style snaps.

HIRO SOLID RING BALL BEARING SWIVELS:
Size 2 £1.10
per two
Size 3 £1.10 per two
Size 4 £1.10 per two

Economical but good quality ball bearing swivels.
