connecting copper to mono or braid.

[rolmops]

Lately I worry a lot about loosing a fish along with 450 feet of copper because of poor choice in connecting the backing to the copper.

I wonder what you all use and what you think about ball bearing swivels with a haywire twist covered with electric heat shrink cover.

Thank you,Cornelis.

i use a heavy swivel to connect the brain to the copper, the heavy swivel is thinner in profile and will go through the guides better. never had a problem with this connection

Swivel / Haywire twist connections last a lot longer. Not really that hard to tie. My vote is for the haywire and swivel connection. Make sure you go with the Spro heavy duty swivels.

You guys using those long cylindrical shaped swivels?

What are they called?

Thanks

Use a small Spro swivel between the copper and the backing and then another between the copper and leader.

Where can you get these and what does the haywire twist look like?
