RIO Micro Swivels
RIO’s Micro Swivels are the perfect accessory for reducing line twist when casting large, wind resistant flies. Adding a swivel between the tapered section of your leader and the tippet allows the tippet and fly to spin without twisting the rest of your system, resulting in smooth, tangle-free casting all day long.
Swivels are also useful in long indicator leaders used in stillwater. By adding a swivel, the angler can add weight and also create a stopper for a dropper leg and fly to rest on after a fish has taken the fly.
| Size | Application |
|---|---|
| Small | Light to medium fly setups, short casts |

These swivels work great in windy conditions. I’ve used them with my long indicator leader and they prevent tangles during casting. The small size fits perfectly between my leader and tippet.
Keith Bell –
I noticed less line twist when casting large flies. The swivels are compact and don’t interfere with the casting motion. They also hold the dropper fly in place after a strike.

Good quality and reliable. I use the medium size for general fishing and it performs well in both stillwater and moving water. A little small for very long leaders, but still useful.
