Vanguard V1700SP-12 Brass Snap Swivel Size 12

Product Description

The VANGUARD V1700SP-12 is a size 12 brass snap swivel designed for fishing applications where fast terminal tackle changes are required. The swivel body allows free rotation between the mainline and leader or lure, reducing line twist during retrieves. The integrated snap clip opens and closes without tools, allowing anglers and rigging professionals to swap lures, leaders, or sinkers quickly. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. Sold individually, this swivel suits light-tackle and panfish rigs where a compact, reliable connection point is needed.

The V1700SP-12 fits standard light-tackle fishing setups. Its size 12 designation makes it appropriate for panfish, trout, bass, and similar applications where a small-profile swivel is preferred. The snap closure secures to hook eyes, lure split rings, leader loops, or sinker attachments. It is commonly used by anglers building pre-tied rigs or by tackle shops assembling ready-to-fish leaders and drop-shot setups.

Installation Notes

Attach the swivel to the mainline using a clinch knot, Palomar knot, or similar terminal knot appropriate for the line material. Open the snap by pressing the wire gate clear of the pin, attach the lure or leader, and confirm the gate is fully closed before use. Inspect the snap gate and swivel barrel for wear or deformation before each use, and replace any swivel showing signs of metal fatigue or corrosion pitting.
