What Is a Rolling Swivel?

Rolling swivels reduce the chance of your line twisting. When casting or trolling lures in big surf, or even simply dropping jigs, line can often be moved and spun around by fish, the movement of the water, or your lure’s motion. Twisted line can act as a weak point when reeling in, it also tangles easily and can impact your casting over time, so it is important to use a swivel and prevent the line from twisting.

A rolling swivel provides a link between two lines, so when joining your mainline to leader it is important to choose a strong and durable rolling swivel.
