Rubbish

Escape Proof...yeah right..! I also lost my favorite lure setting it out. These work fine if you can keep constant pressure on them and never have slack line.... otherwise they are prone to open up. Just hook up on the fish of a lifetime and you will be packing yourself if you use these. Much better options out there like D-shackles.

Mixed Quality

Purchased 150 pound product for use for muskie fishing. Found the "snap" was too small to go over split rings and heavy wire on large spinners. Snap design was good and the two parts of the snap locked into each other would not accidentally open. Returned them for 300 pound item and found the snaps did not lock into each other and if you hung up a lure and tried to get it loose you might easily loose a lure. If the 150 pound design was enlarged, it would make a good product.

Very dangerous, these snap swivels come from the factory very lose and can open easily. I lost two expensive rigs just setting them out to troll, never again! Some people are taping them or crimping them down with pliers. Why would anyone want a snap swivel that you need to do this to?

Do not buy!!!

They open way too easy. As soon as there is slack in the line they pop open. I lost 2 nice trolling lures and a bottom fishing rig to these. The old school swivel works just fine stick with it.
