Product review - Thundermist Swivels - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PapaDave · 05-05-2014, 08:22 AM

When I was at the last Fred Hall show, I ran across a company, Thundermist, showing a three way swivel and a flasher setup that looked interesting. So I bought a couple.

Haven't tried the flasher yet but will soon.

I have tried the swivel though. All I can say is it workes great. I usually have a lot of twisted line when I use a setup with a three way tie. But after using one on these swivels for two outing I have yet to encounter that problem.

I ordered some more.

I've been using them too, they work...but still tangle if you get the spectra wrapped up in them. Definitely worth the money.

Same here. One of the few things that seemed worthwhile to buy and they work great! No tangles at all so far for me.

Started with 85 pound but it's to big so downgraded to 45 I think.

I have been using them too for a while now. They have held up nicely under pressure of some decent sized bsb. The only problems with tangle i have had are when the bait swims in a knot around the sinker leader or main line. A tip would be to not try to straighten the side loop after bending it by hard pulling. It will likely snap off.
