Description
By incorporating this swivel, you create the ideal setup to prevent the hook from releasing during a carp’s head-shaking. The large ring stops the swivel from being pulled into the clip, so it instead rests against the Hit & Run lead clip/inline weight. This results in a sliding, pulley-like system, with the leader running twice through the clip to maintain sufficient pressure on the hook point for an effective hookset.
When the carp shakes its head after a hookset, the weight gradually slides back, increasing the distance between the weight and the fish, which prevents the weight from twisting the hook loose. In a fixed swivel system, it takes much more force for the weight to slide off—even with heavy weights, the fish might still dislodge the hook by shaking its head.
This design ensures that your rig remains secure and effective, even under the most challenging conditions.
