Product benefits

Advantages and key features

The primary advantage of this BFT swivel for drop rigs lies in its ability to preserve the integrity of your line. By reducing twists it prevents unexpected breakages and extends the life of your monofilament, fluorocarbon or braided lines. You can fish longer and with greater confidence, even during intensive sessions.

Its double-barrel design provides great rotational freedom, which significantly improves the mobility of your dropper arms or leaders in paternoster rigs. Lures and baits remain free to move, offering a more natural action and making them more attractive to wary fish. This is a major asset for targeting zander (pike-perch), perch and pike in heavily fished waters.

Finally, BFT's manufacturing quality ensures excellent long-term reliability. Choosing this high-performance swivel for predator fishing is an investment in a discreet but essential component of your rig that can make the difference during fights.

Usage tips

To get the most out of this double-barrel swivel for paternoster rigs, choose the size best suited to your fishing style and line diameter. The goal is to keep a balanced setup: a swivel strong enough yet discreet relative to the rest of the rig.

When rigging, tie the mainline to one ring and your leaders to the other attachment points, using reliable, tight knots. Regularly check the condition of the knots and the swivel, especially after landing a fish or a snag, to maintain optimal safety.

This drop and paternoster rig accessory can be used from both shore and boat, for vertical, linear or static fishing. Feel free to include it in different rigs to optimize bait presentation according to fishing conditions and fish activity.
