In this selection of YAMASHITA, the central location is for multi-section roller swivels with snap suitable for salt water. They are particularly relevant when the line is running at great distance or serious depth and twisting can lead to entanglement. Instead of looking at the number alone, one should consider the overall dimensions and the relationship with the rest of the tackle.

Swivels with snap YAMASHITA Quintuple Swivel are available in two clearly distinguished variants: 6B with size 42 x 29 mm and 8B with size 34 x 23 mm, by 3 count. The construction is a four-wheeled roller snap swivel designed to significantly limit twists and entanglements under the difficult conditions indicated.

The difference between the dimensions should be assessed in the context of the entire rig. Compare the gauge of the swivel to the line, the connected elements and the location the snap occupies. Don't assume that the larger option is automatically the right one. Load capacity is not specified, so do not assign any size value on which to base your choice.

In long-distance feeding and deep work, roller sections take the rotation between the individual parts and thus limit its carrying along the line. This does not override careful pre-release arrangement. If the leader is already twisted or the snap is hooked up crooked, the swivel cannot compensate for any mistake made.

The snap must accept the selected binding element without pressing and close completely. After hanging, inspect it from all sides, because partial closure easily goes unnoticed. Also check if the roller links move freely without the line being passed through an incorrect ring or resting on an adjacent part.

After use in salt water rinse the swivel with fresh water, dry it and re-check the movement and closure. Do not put a ready-made rig with the putty or leftover salt around the roller sections. The right size, clean connection and a good working snap are the three practical conditions for this accessory to fulfill its purpose at the next outing.
