They are perfectly molded to fit over the eye of a Korda size 8 swivel.

Troubleshooting
Sleeve does not fit securely on the swivel
Ensure you are using a Korda size 8 swivel, as the sleeves are molded for this specific size. Check for any debris on the swivel eye that might be preventing a snug fit.
Tangles still occurring despite using sleeves
Verify that the sleeve is correctly positioned and pushing the hooklink away. Ensure your casting technique is smooth. Consider hook link length and type, as very supple materials might still coil slightly.
Sleeves appear to be affecting casting distance
This is unlikely unless a sleeve is damaged or improperly fitted. Check for any obstructions or a poorly seated sleeve that might be creating drag. Ensure the sleeve is oriented correctly to aid line separation.
