Sampo – BX8RZ Ball Bearing Swivel

When fishing, it's important to avoid twists in your fishing line. These twists weaken the line, and as their number increases, the line becomes more susceptible to breaking unexpectedly. To address this problem, one effective solution is to use a ball bearing swivel between the rod tip and the lure or hook at the end of the line.

The ball bearing swivel, such as the Sampo BX8RZ, allows the line to rotate freely as the lure or fish on the end spins. This rotation helps maintain the strength of the line and prevents it from getting twisted. The Sampo ball bearing swivels are made of stainless steel, preventing rust and corrosion that could hinder the swivel's smooth motion.
