What do you guys think of these two products

[DOS]

Just wondering if this is something you would use, I got some samples in and I got to say they look impressive. Especially the steel leader that you can tie, no crimps required...Looking for feedback to see if I will carry the full line.

the swivels look gimmicky and cheap

 

the tieable wire seems expensive.

 

tieable wire has been around for a while and i think it has its place, how does it compare to tygerleader or cortland products ?

I would have to see it in person.Hard to tell how big they are. Pretty interesting though.

All for trying new products,but the regular swivel works well for me.Will be interesting to hear the feedback.

I haven't fished big enough fish yet for that to be a option for me.

Infomercials instantly destroy any credibility a product may have for me...

those swivels are legit but seem to be geared more at saltwater anglers....I chartered a guide in florida uses them, he said they last longer and more durable as they don't corrode....he was using 50 lb swivels I think....also said that occasional fish will swipe at the flash of the stainless swivel and damage the mainline

 

I use the Rio wire tippet for fly fishing and ice fishing but based on my impression of the swivels, I'd try the wire without hesitation

I'm not impressed by either of the products.

Haywire twist works for me with single strand SS when making pike quick strike rigs.... don't think I'll be changing soon just for a bit of stretch

I have been using the Rio wire leader this year with great success for pike fishing.

Very easy to tie a back to back uni knot , no kinking whatsoever and way more durable than flouro leaders.

I do have some of the swivels but have not tried them yet. They look durable and well made.

Trout guys fishing gin clear water will love them.

If swivel visibility is a concern I would just make my lead longer, although the saltwater corrosion is an aspect I don't have to worry about. There are a few brands of tieable wire line out there.

Thanks for the feedback guys, they look good. Big Jim Mc really likes the stuff, just not too sure about putting a large investment out there if there isnt too much interest..

The infomercial website really threw me off. What's up with that? haha

Infomercials work! Do you have any idea how much money Bowflex makes?

[Rich]

Meh. Regular swivels work for me. Don't fish muskies often enough to need anything more.

I'd rather go with a smaller metal swivel because if I'm going to use a swivel to connect my lines then I'm going to be using a spinner or something that is constantly moving and if they dont get scarde off by your main line the swivel shouldn't bug them.

If they where snap swivels though I might be interested because of there nutural buoyancy. It would be great for throwing topwater and jerkbaits.
