How did you end up liking the swivels after a season of use?? I found this review but found one of the cons being that you have to cut the leader to get it off, with out an easy swap out. Found this to be an honest review. Let me know your take as I am intrigued by these for crawler harnesses etc for deep, clear eastern erie eyes.
There are some very sharp-eyed predatory freshwater fish like river trout, asp (our European "freshwater tarpon"), chub an even perch, and the large and old-grown and therefore experienced ones of these species are very suspicious. I am convinced that they can spot metal swivels and snaps of any color in clear water. So, nearly invisible swivels are a highly welcome innovation, especially when you want to rig them close to the lure and when you are fishing in clear waters. I bought the 25 lbs Invisaswivels, and they make a solid impression. But unfortunately, the eyes are very tiny. It is possible to thread a 20-25 lbs fluorocarbon leader through the eyes, so these Invisaswivels work as swivels, yes. But it is not possible to fasten the tiniest and finest-wired snaps I could find on the fishing tackle market to the Invisaswivels, because their eyes are so narrow. So, the Invisaswivels are of a somewhat restricted use. For this drawback, I would have given them only 3 stars, but because swivels from fluorocarbon are a major and welcome innovation, I gave 4 stars. I hope that the Aquateko company will develop as soon as possible snap swivels from the same material or will redesign their Invisaswivels with wider eyes.Share this review:
