Swivel

Swivel is a small tool made of metal which has a shape like two rings are connected together, but both these rings can rotate freely together . Swivel fishing rods are usually used in the circuit for easy installation into a series string hook, swivel as well as a tool for balancing the rotating hook now , both when exposed to water currents as well as bait fish inedible and occurs back and forth . Use of swivel allows the strings do not roll up and tangled on fishing, because the swivel will rotate in accordance with the pull of the hook load .

Use of swivel is very handy if you use monofilament strings , considering the power of this string is less flexible . monofilament strings famous wrinkle when exposed to the pull, and finally strings easily become complicated if the rolled up inside the reel . Use of swivel will reduce the possibility of rolling strings - rolls and become tangled because this tool will always spin freely.


The types of ' Swivel '

There are four ( 4 ) type ' swivel ' market used by anglers where each type has its own characteristics .

a. Barrel swivel
This is the most popular type used by the angler. There are 2 ( two) types specifically for this type of swivel straight type ( "straight " ) and the type of " twisted eye " . Swivel this type may be found in the colors sparkle ( Chrome ) , brass ( brass ) or black . This species is a cheap , no matter how it 's not so appropriate if used to delay ( trolling ) or to compete with large , heavy fish . This is because it 's possible straight dipenjilidan ( binding ) due to pressure. " Barrel Swivel " for the purposes of fishing is very consistent basis , "bottom " or " casting " for a modest amount of fish .





b. Ball bearing swivel
This species is the most powerful and most consistent for the purposes of delay ( trolling ) and fishing are big and ferocious . Contained in two colors namely black and sparkle (chrome ) . They cost approximately 3-4 times the double of a kind ' barrel swivel ' . It has a swivel nut nut ( ball bearings ) in it and will spin well.









c. Chain swivel
This species is very suitable for trolling and have a series of ' barrels ' to determine bahawa he will spin when used .
Swivel this type may be found in the colors sparkle ( Chrome ) , brass ( brass ) or black . It is not very suitable for use in basic fishing by fishing line , because the possibility terserat him .






d.Three -way swivel
This species is done from the pan ( brass ) and has 3 ( three) conclusion that tied the ring at the same distance. Usefulness of this conclusion is to separate the bait from the stone ballast. ' Swivel from this type of extremely weak rotating once and selalunya tigak which resulted in the rope will be cumbersome . It is always used for fishing on the bottom .






Snap swivel
After understanding the usefulness of ' snap ' and ' swivel ' we should buy berasingan and menyambungnya follow its own flavor or we can buy it as one of the call " Snap Swivel "Whatever its usefulness is the same which connects the main rope at taliperambut or artificial bait and determine bahawa rope not kink or bersimpul during fishing.




swivel prices ranging from USD 0.03 to USD 1 depending bersar , type, and materials used.

Swivel is sold in several sizes to suit the needs of the angler , there are various kinds of swivel of the most common colors are silver color selected typical stainless steel. Use stainless steel rust bergunamencegah that appears, especially if you are using this rod series on fishing in the sea . We recommend that you use a small size , there is no fixed rule regarding the use of swivel , but you can use strings and adjusted with great strength of the target fish .

If you already have a swivel that has long been used you should frequently check the power swivel and check the connections , so free from rust . If there is rust on the swivel will certainly reduce the power swivel and allows tangling occurs on your strings . Good fishing

Fishing string / fishing line

For hobbies fishing or fishing in the Thousand Islands tour , one of the most vital tool is a fishing rod string . In order that does not end when we are struck by the fish bait , surely we must choose the right string and quality fishing .

String or Line itself , is a rope made of special material used for fishing . On Line inilag strings or hooks ( hooks ) , buoys ( floats ) , lead ( sinker ) and other accessories are placed .

There are two parts of the string that is the main line and hook line . The use of strings, we must also adjust with the goal or what we want to get when we are fishing, whether small fish or large fish . Of the types of fish are we going fishing this is the diameter of the strings, we adjust.
The first thing you need to know in choosing the string is the quality of materials such strings , each string has a particular characteristic . The better the quality of the strings that we use , it is definitely more expensive.

Strings are good to have a stable quality . Good strings are made from quality ingredients , using a good machine and with the process and quality control is good too. string referred to is stability if designed with a strict quality control , such as diameter , strength ( strength) , strength of tie strings ( knots strength) , the extension of the string at the time of withdrawal ( elongation ) , flexible power ( flexibility ) and frictional resistance ( Abrasion Resistance )

Fishing Types of Strings in the market there are two namely monofilament and Multifilament . Monofilament is a string with fibers ( filament ) , single base material made of nylon. While Multifilament Strings that are have a lot of fiber . This type of rough surface of the strings , not as smooth as strings of nylon material . Strings of this type of banyakdipakai angler fishing a hobby and is usually used for the race .

Apart from the Type, String Fishing is also distinguished from its characteristics . Here is a characteristic fishing Strings :

Strength ( strength) : How can the string can withstand the load. Strength test was conducted using a universal testing machine with a pull string 50 cm long with a pull speed of 200 mm in a minute , then the string is tested until the end to see the maximum strength .

Strings Tie Strength ( knots strength) : The Power tied the knot , where the strings would break up knotted . strength generally measured by the pons ( lbs ) or kilograms ( pounds ) . knot strength tests conducted with the test string with a knot strength in the middle of the string to be tested , until the strings break at the knot .

Extension of Strings On When Pulled ( elongation ) : Strings will have an extension / elongation at the time of pulling the load, until the maximum point of the string can not be stretched anymore . Tests carried out by pulling strings to the point of maximal strings would break .

Stringed Resistance ( Abrasion resistance ) : Strings that are not easily eroded / abrasion when hit by a rock, a guide on the rod string and place the string on the real road . Tests done by rubbing the strings until the end by using sandpaper round and counted the number of spins. More and more number of rounds , showing more resistance to friction strings .

Flexibility ( flexibility ) : Resistance strings when bent. Tests carried out by measuring the resistance at the bend strings . The bigger the string the more rigid resintensinya show .
III . Can be Measured Using the power of Strings :

Fishing strings , we can test in two ways . That is by using string and Manual Testing Equipment . Testing Instrument Strings in the form of a special machine to test strings. Accuracy testing using a tool , compared with manually, higher.

Measurements manually, we could do with wearing a pair of scales , then the string is pulled (the scales indicate a figure ) until the string is broken .

We can also distinguish rod from its packaging strings , ie strings and Strings Commercial Interests .

commercial strings , a string Packaging sold for the use of more economical and less attention to quality as compared with the string hobby. Normally use this string for a living / profit and is used for the purposes of fishermen making / mending nets .

commercial string is divided into two types namely the form of Strings Strings Wrap the roll without spool in a plastic packet with information on the strength ( lbs ) , diameter ( mm ) and length of string ( m ), while the string pack is a collection of strings Strings Pak packs , which are sold in the form with a heavy pack weighed 4.5 kg .

Strings Strings Hobbies is the marketing is directed to the person who has a hobby of fishing. This string is more priority on quality such as strength and diameter . This string is divided into two types namely the form of Strings Strings Rol Meter spool rolls , with information on the strength ( lbs ) , the diameter and length of the string and the form of Strings Strings Heavy Rolling rolls with spool and information power ( lbs ) , diameter, length strings.

Various types of strings have been described . Now to select the strings have tipsnya . First , when choosing a string we must know in advance the purpose , whether for commercial or hobby purposes . If for commercial purposes , then select the strings are not as complicated as choosing strings for a hobby.

In contrast to the hobby , many things must be considered in selecting , such as what to look for fish , the type of fishing ( troling , spinning and other cloth) for the race or not , strength ( power ) in units of lbs ( pounds) or kilograms ( kg ) and diameter . Good pick ! (Various sources / tommy Bernadus ) .
