Crane swivels

Mark Harris:
Reading this thread, I am beginning to feel a bit OTT by using NT 3/0 and 4/0 for popping (between leader and split ring).  Do folks think they are too big?

Chris Young:
Between leader and split ring NT 2/0 is more than adequate because in this position it is only straight pull. I also like to keep the weight of this hardware to a minimum where possible to get a better action from the lures.
I use 5/0 in the belly of the lures because they can get sideways pressure and I have seen quite a few lesser quality swivels damaged and broken.......never had it happen to NT 5/0

Scott Anderson:
Thanks Guys,

Looks like an order for some NT's.

Thanks again as Im trying to put only the best hardware available into these lures Im making.

Mario Benedict:
Anyone know where I can get a hold of these NT swivels in Australia ?
I did a google search and nomad shop is the only source I can find, but they seem to be sold out ?
