Quick take
Three-way swivels with one small and one large barrel for rigging catfish rigs, surf rigs and bottom rigs in freshwater and saltwater.
This three-way swivel joins three lines at once, so a main line, a dropper and a leader can meet in one rig. Its rotating body lets the line turn freely, which helps keep line from twisting as it works. The pack of 30 comes in fifteen sizes with pound-test ratings, so each swivel can be matched to the line it joins.
Best for
- Catfish rigs with weight and bait on separate legs
- Surf fishing rigs for pompano and bottom fish
- Any rig where the main line is pulled by the sinker
Skip if
- You need two-way swivels for simple line connections
- You fish finesse techniques where bulk matters
Strengths
- 360-degree rotation on all three legs prevents line twist
- Large barrel holds heavy sinkers; small barrel takes lighter branches
- Stainless construction resists corrosion in saltwater
Trade-offs
- More complex than two-way swivels so slower to tie
- Large swivels can spook fish in clear water
- Quality varies by size within the pack
