Crane Swivels – Fundamentally, a crane swivel is quite similar to the design of its barrel counterpart. How they differ, though, is that the crane design can potentially last longer and are more heavy duty.
Snap Swivels - Investing in a snap swivel will be the most effective approach if you plan to use a fishing lure that will be spinning on the end of your line. This swivel will enable you to prevent the line from spinning wildly under the influence of the lure.
Ball Bearing Swivels A ball bearing swivel is a crucial addition to your setup and are ideally for boat fishing and trolling. The presence of the ball bearing will minimise line twist and make it easier to reel in your catch.
Barrel Swivels By connecting a barrel swivel between your main line and leader line, you can help to prevent your fishing rig from becoming horribly twisted. Excessive line twist will only force you to attach a new leader and take time away from fishing.
