Quick take
Brass and stainless steel barrel swivels with black nickel finish for line twist reduction.
This is a 100-piece set of size 8 barrel swivels with a brass body, stainless steel solid rings and a black nickel finish. The barrel turns freely to keep twist out of your line, which suits leaders, lures and terminal rigs. It works for both freshwater and saltwater setups, including trout and salmon.
