One of the main principles of the spinner rig, as the name suggests, is that the hook is free to spin round and take a hold in the mouth of the carp. The more freely that it spins, the better the chances of getting a hook hold and this is exactly what the PTFE Spinner Ring Swivel achieves.
This size 11 swivel is designed specifically for use with this rig and can be used with various hook link materials as the ring does away with the need for a connecting loop, and just like our standard version, the hook can easily be added or removed from the ‘crook’ at the other end, which is then covered with a Kicker to keep everything securely in place.
The XX version is designed specifically to be used with larger hook sizes such as 1s and 2s. They have a thicker wire gauge than the original version and should be used in conjunction with the new XL Kickers which will sit snugly over the crook and the larger eye of the bigger size hook.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has one of the lowest friction coefficients of any solid material, which makes it perfect for coating swivels as it reduces any friction between the barrel and the eye.
They are sold in packs of eight with a version without a ring also available.
