AFW Mighty Mini Stainless Crane Swivels

Overview

Rated to 180 pound test, the AFW FWSS07B/50 packs 50 stainless steel crane swivels finished in gunmetal black. AFW lists this as wire technique gear, positioning it for leader building rather than light tackle.

A 180 pound test rating puts this swivel well past freshwater bass or panfish use and into wire leader and heavier saltwater rigging, where crane swivels stop line twist without adding much bulk. The gunmetal black finish is meant to be less visible on the leader than bright nickel.

• 50 piece pack
• 180 pound test rating
• Stainless steel, gunmetal black finish
• Crane swivel style for wire rigging

Who it's for

Anglers building wire leaders or heavier rigs for toothy or hard fighting fish who need swivels rated well above typical light tackle line weight. Not the pick for finesse or light freshwater rigs where 180 pound hardware is overkill.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Crane swivels rotate freely at the barrel to absorb line twist from a spinning bait or fighting fish, and a 180 pound rating means the swivel itself will not be the weak point in a heavier rig. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than plated hardware in saltwater use.
