Product Information
Full details
The Thinking Anglers Hook Swivels in size 20 are designed for carp anglers seeking a reliable, low-profile terminal tackle component that enhances bait presentation. These swivels are ideal for creating effective rigs where bait movement is crucial, allowing for smoother hook mechanics; however, their ultra-small size requires precise handling during setup, particularly for anglers with larger fingers or limited dexterity.

FAQs
Are these swivels compatible with all hook brands?
Yes, they are designed to fit most standard carp hooks, though compatibility with micro-barbs may vary slightly by hook manufacturer.
How many swivels are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 individual Hook Swivels.
Do I need special tools to mount these?
While not strictly required, a baiting needle or fine-point forcep can make handling these small components significantly easier.
What is the benefit of the PTFE coating?
The PTFE coating provides a non-reflective, matte finish that helps the rig blend into the lakebed, and it reduces friction for smoother rotation.
Can these be used with fluorocarbon hooklinks?
Yes, these swivels integrate perfectly with various hooklink materials, including fluorocarbon, mono, and coated braids.
Troubleshooting
Swivel is sticking and not rotating freely
Check for debris or dried silt inside the swivel barrel; rinse thoroughly in fresh water or use a soft brush to clear the housing.
Swivel slides off the hook shank during a cast
Ensure the Hook Bead is properly seated and hasn't become loose; replace the Hook Bead if it no longer provides sufficient resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the larger eye of the swivel onto your chosen hook shank. Once the swivel is positioned, slide a Thinking Anglers Hook Bead onto the hook point and push it over the eye to lock the swivel in place, ensuring it can still slide freely between the bend and the bead. When finished with your session, rinse the terminal tackle in fresh water to remove any lakebed silt or debris, which can accumulate in the swivel barrel. Store in a dry, ventilated box to maintain the integrity of the PTFE finish and prevent oxidation of the swivel metal.
