break strength of mustad snap swivels

[avidone1]

I seem to remember that braided line did not twist when casting spoons.   Wow!  was I wrong.

I was wading in the indian river for snook and casting a gold spoon.  It was windy and I'm sure that played a big part,

but man I got some tangles that could only be fixed by cutting them off.

Sooooooooooooo.  I need to get some snap swivels for spoons.   Wal mart has a big selection of mustad brass snap swivels.

but they come in size designation with no break strength.  Mustads website was no help, so I come to the ultimate resource for help

What say ye?

I figure if I need a swivel to prevent line twist, it's going to be a good-quality Sampo ball bearing swivel.  I never had a problem with brass swivels, but the good ball bearing type are so much better, I haven't used brass ones since I was a teenager (and that was about forty years ago!). I believe it would be easy to find the pound-test rating of the Sampo swivels on line somewhere...

Tight lines,
