We both know your current “swivel collection” is a random handful of snaps you have been recycling since the early 2000s. This 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set of rolling swivel snap connectors is the grown-up version – proper gun black stainless hardware, four useful sizes, and enough pieces that you can actually throw away anything that looks even slightly bent.
Why This Lure Works
All right, it is not a lure, but these little rolling swivel snap connectors are what keep your lures working properly instead of spinning your line into a bird’s nest. The barrels are designed to rotate under load, so when a spinner, spoon or trolling bait starts doing helicopter impressions, the swivel takes the twist instead of your main line. As Outdoor Life points out, a simple swivel in the right place is one of the easiest fixes for line twist headaches.
This 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set is all about flexibility. You get sizes 04, 05, 08 and 10, running from about 46 mm down to 32 mm, so you can match the swivel to the job instead of clipping the same chunky snap onto everything. The gun black finish keeps things low visibility, especially when you are fishing clear water or pressured fish that have seen every shiny bit of terminal tackle under the sun.
Because they are rolling swivels with fastlock-style snaps, you can clip on different lures or leaders quickly without retying every time. Wired2Fish list swivels and snaps as essential bits of terminal tackle for modern setups, right alongside hooks and sinkers, for exactly that reason – less faff, more casts. For the price of a takeaway, you get enough rolling swivel snap connectors to rig multiple rods and still have a stash ready in your tackle box.
How To Fish It
Technically you are not “fishing” the rolling swivel snap connectors themselves, but how you use them makes a massive difference to how your lures behave. On spinning gear, clip one between your main line and a short fluorocarbon leader when you are throwing spoons, inline spinners or anything that spins like mad. That little joint lets the lure dance while the swivel kills the twist before it reaches your spool – something a lot of anglers in r/bassfishing complain about when they forget the swivel.:
With crankbaits and hardbaits, you can either use the snap directly on the line tie or run the rolling swivel snap connectors a short way up the leader, leaving the lure on its factory split ring. If you like swapping colours constantly, the snap is a lifesaver – and very handy on cold days when your fingers feel like sausages. Some anglers prefer a straight knot for maximum action, others are happy to trade a tiny bit of finesse for the convenience of quick changes. The 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set lets you experiment without worrying about running out.
For heavy-duty work – trolling, ocean boat fishing or throwing big metals – step up to the larger 04 or 05 size swivels from the pack. Clip them between your main line and a wire or fluorocarbon leader and you have a strong, clean connection that will not kink under load. There are plenty of YouTube clips on preventing line twist when trolling or fishing spinning tackle; a lot of them come back to exactly this kind of hardware. Keep the 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set in your boat and you can sort out a mate’s setup in two minutes when he rocks up with a twisted mess.
When To Use It
Any time something might spin, you want these rolling swivel snap connectors involved. Think spoons, spinners, inline blades, whopper-style topwaters and even some aggressive crankbaits. In warm-weather bass fishing, when you are burning reaction baits, the twist can sneak up on you fast. Having the 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set on hand means you can prevent the problem instead of trying to fix it mid-session.
They shine in saltwater, too. The product page calls explicitly out ocean boat fishing, and the stainless steel/steel alloy construction with electroplated finish is designed for corrosion resistance. Use the larger sizes with metal jigs, trolling lures, or live-bait rigs offshore, and the smaller sizes with lighter leaders for estuary work. A lot of terminal tackle guides, like Tackle Warehouse’s piece on swivels, highlight rolling swivels as a smart choice under heavy load because they keep rotating instead of locking up.
In winter or early spring, when you are throwing blade baits, spoons or other vertically worked lures, line twist is almost guaranteed. Drop a rolling swivel from this 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set between your main line and leader and you will feel bites instead of coils. The same logic applies for kids’ outfits and beginners – anything that stops them turning a spinning reel into a knot factory buys you more actual fishing time and fewer patience-testing respools.
Does It Actually Catch Fish?
The swivels themselves do not bite, but they make your lures fish better and your line last longer. There is a reason threads on swivel debates on r/bassfishing keep popping up – when you are throwing twisting baits, a proper swivel is the difference between crisp casts and an angry, coiled mess.
If your line is kinked, twisted and memory-ridden, your lure will not track true, your sensitivity tanks and you will snap off more often. By running these rolling swivel snap connectors in the right places, you keep the system straight so the lure can do what it is designed to do. That indirectly means more fish in the net and fewer mystery failures when a decent bass boatsides you and your line parts at some random weak spot.
The big bonus with a 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set is confidence. You are not hoarding the last two swivels in the packet – you have a hundred. So you actually change them when they start looking tired instead of “sending it” one more time and then acting surprised when something opens up on a big fish.
Gear Pairing
These rolling swivel snap connectors are at their best on spinning outfits and medium to heavy casting gear where line twist and lure rotation can be an issue. For general bass work with spoons, spinners, small topwaters and light metals, pair the smaller sizes from the 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set with 10–15 lb mono or fluorocarbon or 15–30 lb braid plus leader. For heavier saltwater or pike work, use the 04 or 05 sizes with stronger leaders and do not be shy about checking your knots if you are really leaning on them.
If you are building out a dedicated terminal tackle tray, this set drops in perfectly alongside the Aorace 100Pcs Fishing Hooks Set and a good box like the LUSHAZER Fishing Tackle Box 148 pieces. Stack all of that under the Terminal Tackle category and you have a full system – hooks, leaders and rolling swivel snap connectors ready for whatever rigging silliness you come up with.
If you are still unsure when to add a swivel or when to go direct, there are plenty of threads and videos out there where experienced anglers talk about when swivels help and when they just add a failure point, especially with braid. The sensible compromise is to keep a 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set in the bag and use them for the techniques that genuinely twist line – that way you are using hardware to solve real problems, not just adding “shiny things” because the tackle shop had a sale.

FAQ
Will these rolling swivel snap connectors spook fish in clear water?
The gun black finish is far less flashy than bright chrome snaps, so they are pretty subtle in the water. Most of the time the lure, leader diameter and your presentation matter far more than the swivel itself.
Do I need a swivel on every single lure?
No, mate. Use the 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set where there is real twist risk – spoons, inline spinners, some blade baits and trolling rigs. For finesse plastics and jigs a direct knot is usually cleaner and keeps the presentation more natural.
Can I use these swivels in saltwater?
Yes. The steel alloy / stainless build with electroplated finish is made for corrosion resistance, especially for ocean boat fishing. Just give them a quick rinse after a salty session like you would any other terminal tackle.
Which size should I pick for bass lures?
For standard bass crankbaits, topwaters and spinners, the mid sizes from the 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set (05# and 08#) are a good starting point. Big spoons and heavier metals can step up to the 04#, while ultralight gear might call for the 10#.
Are cheap swivels really that bad?
Put it this way – plenty of anglers on Reddit and elsewhere have stories of bargain-bin snaps bending or popping open on fish. With a proper rolling swivel snap connector you massively reduce that risk, especially if you retire them when they start to look tired.
Final Verdict
This 4 size 100pcs fishing swivels set is not glamorous tackle, but it is the kind of thing that quietly saves sessions. You get proper rolling swivel snap connectors in four genuinely useful sizes, a corrosion-resistant gun black finish and enough quantity to rig every rod you own without rationing hardware like it is wartime.
If you are sick of line twist, hate wasting time retying when you just want to change colour, or have a habit of “borrowing” swivels from mates and never replacing them, this set is for you to finally get your act together. Throw a handful into your day box, keep the rest in the garage, and you will not be begging for a swivel at the ramp again.
Stop trusting that mystery snap from 1998 – grab fresh swivels and fish like you mean it.
