Ling Cod tournament...Moro Bay, CA.

[Big Tim]

good stuff & good luck
them snap swivels,  

I know...I'm lazy when on a Cattle Wagon and the swivels just make it easy   I did tie them on with perfect jam knots 

[wallacewt]

its not the knot tim
its the swivel type,those particular ones are the
poorest quality
you dont want the swivel to give way on your
winning fish
cheers mate

I didn't notice them   

[Ron Jones]

I know everybody poo poos those, but I grew up using them and don't ever remember losing a fish on them.

They can come apart, I prefer coastlock snaps.

They are less than $0.20 each here, 50# work for 30# albacore rigs but for lings I use 75# snaps, http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-BLACK-COASTLOCK-SNAP-SWIVEL-7-50-LBS-TEST-40mm-3-16-EYE-/161373688541?pt=US_Taxidermy&hash=item25929f12dd

Cool, I've used both and never had an issue. I do remember pulling apart the "weak" kind on a snag once.

Ron: I've put on the deck 30#-Fish from 500+ in the 1980's-90's on the same damn swivel??? I should change my ways!, now that I'm a grandpa 

[Shark Hunter]

I use the same type Lee is showing. Rosco 6/0's. I hook my Shark leader to the main line with them. They are rated at 450lb. $1 each.

Check out the SPRO Brand of swivels!  Very small for huge pull strength!

I've used them in Cabo with NO failure rate,

I also use the tiny #10 power swivels for high sierra trout fishing.

Big Tim, for what it's worth, this was only constructive criticism:-\. I personally will only use lock snap swivels, you and Run enjoy using snap swivels.... whatever floats your boat.

No offense taken...I actually like those SPRO'S Lee shows. I probably need to up my game bit for when I go after bigger fish, someday one of my cheapo's will fail and I will cuss something fierce
