Believe it or not, I had 4 swivels pull apart at the barrel this Saturday! Only time this has ever happened to me. I generally only use ball bearing swivels but in haste Friday before I travelled up, I made up 15 leaders to get us started in the morning. As I keep 95% of my tackle on my boat, all I had we're size 2 barrel swivels and some 17lb fluorocarbon at home. I was shocked when 4 got pulled apart! We fished nw of west reef. Pulled 19 with at least 5 lost, and one fish Ohio at 28 3/4" my personal best.
