Quick take
Micro barrel swivels for fly fishing tapered leaders and tippet, reducing twists and enabling quick fly changes.
A 100-count bag of small barrel swivels with a brass body, stainless steel rings and a black nickel coating. They suit fly anglers who want a compact connector between a tapered leader and tippet, or a spot to hang a dropper, while helping limit line twist. This size is the #12 swivel with 0.28 inch body length, and the pack is light enough to stash in a fly box or vest.
