Rio Micro Swivel
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.

These swivels work great for reducing line twist when casting in the wind. I’ve used them with my long leader and they keep everything from tangling. Easy to attach and last through multiple fishing trips.

I noticed less tangle when using the micro swivels with my large flies. They fit well between the leader and tippet. A small but effective addition to my gear.

Perfect for stillwater fishing with indicator setups. The swivels hold the dropper fly in place after a take and prevent the line from twisting. Very reliable and compact.
