Thundermist Lure CompanyT-Turn 3-Way Swivel Tangle Free Tackle Equipment

Regardless as to whether you fish freshwater or saltwater, the equipment you use is no better than its weakest component. There are various three-way swivels available at considerably cheaper prices, and their construction reflects that price. These are made with first-rate materials, and their construction reflects that fact. When properly tied, this swivel will not tangle its three attached lines ( make sure the tag ends are clipped close to the knots ) and are at least as strong as their rated strengths. The three sizes, at this writing, are small - 7x8 - ( 35 lbs. ), medium - 5x6 - ( 55 lbs. ), and large - 1x2- ( 85 lbs. ). The first is ideal for shallow waters with winter flounder, fluke, and weakfish, and anything in a similar size range and habitat. The medium is great for surf and deeper water, and with fish that may run larger. The larger size are great for chopper bluefish,channel bass (redfish ), strippers, and those gator weakfish that come along on occasion. While looking for this particular item, it was noted that there were several other brands that purport to do the same thing, only for considerably less cost. Beware, they are not the same and do not function the same, and will cause inevitable problems in use. They are not nearly as strong or free turning; the ultimate result will be twisted line and, finally, lost fish. As with most things, Murphy's Law will come into play - ' Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and usually at the worst possible moment ', as when you have a trophy fish on, that fish of a lifetime. And remember, these typically come along once in a lifetime. Do not lose it due to second-rate tackle.

Haven’t had a chance to use them yet but I’m hoping they help keep my trap rigs untangled. They look good.

Saw these in action on thier videos. I tried various 3-way swivels in the past, however these work far better than the others. I fish large catfish and carp and these have been critical in my rig set-up. I purchased the medium and have had no issues with 20lb+ fish. They are very small - but do the job well. Not only do they prevent line-twists, they also prevent tangles. I use braid on everything, and keeping the line from tangling up on the sinker, or even on a Santee rig, these swivels just handle it. Excellent product.

I bought the what I thought was heaviest t swivel only to lose a large hard fighting bottom fish when the swivel actually pulled apart during a strong fish fight. I thought maybe a big aj but the captain said no a big grouper. I’ll never know but disappointed to see mechanical swivel failure lost the fish. I was using 60lb mono top shot over 60 lb braid and only the top wire swivel ring came up.

My husband and I used these swivels to fish on the Sacramento River for Stripers. We attached the top swivel to reel line, middle with leader to weight and bottom with leader to hook. We made loops in our leaders and attached weights with a rubber band. We fished for 4 days and not once did we have a problem untangling our lines. Most of the time we had only to hold on to our reel line and the other two would spin around and straighten out. We love these swivels and purchased more so we'd have them on hand. However, we used the same swivel for all four days and didn't lose anything except one weight when it got lodged in rocks and the rubber band broke. We highly recommend the T-Turn swivel for anyone wanting a 3 way swivel.

I fish on charter boats at the Farallon islands here in California. We have some pretty strong currents so to minimize line tangles on your trap rigs your terminal tackle has to be top notch and these here are flawless. I never had a tangle with these. I know the price is a little questionable at first but let me tell you every trip I get guys asking me what type of swivel this is. Usually they laugh at first when I tell them how much they are but once they tried it for themselves they're sold.

The quality is good and I use for fishing.

They work well and do the job they are intended for but at more than 2 bucks per item its really pricey. I'm sure others would buy more in bulk for a cheaper price..
