The Cox & Rawle Brass Rolling Swivels are a core, general-purpose terminal tackle component for a wide variety of fishing applications, particularly popular in sea and coarse fishing.

Key Features and Specifications

• Material: They are constructed from brass, which offers a balance of strength, reliability, and affordability compared to stainless steel options. The brass is often finished with a Nickel colour coating.
• Type: They are Rolling Swivels (also known as Barrel Swivels). This is the classic, simple cylindrical swivel design.
• Function: Their primary job is to reduce or eliminate line twist and kinking. Line twist can be caused by retrieving spinning lures, using rotating baits, or heavy currents, and can seriously weaken your fishing line.
• Application: They are marketed as a classic standard swivel that is ideal for all-round use and essential for use on most fishing rigs. This includes:
  • Connecting a main line to a leader or rig body.
  • Allowing snoods to spin freely on a rig.
  • General rig building components.
• Affordability: They are a hard-wearing, reliable, and affordable option for anglers needing a strong, basic swivel for various fishing scenarios.
