DOS Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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. http://www.aquateko.com/ red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) 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 ?

misfish Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I would have to see it in person.Hard to tell how big they are. Pretty interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited December 12, 2012 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm not impressed by either of the products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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 Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msp Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 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.. RED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Meh. Regular swivels work for me. Don't fish muskies often enough to need anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneFishin Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 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.
