I'm wanting to get some ball bearing swivels to help with line twist when using an inline spinner and curly tail grubs that spin.

 

What should I be looking for and from where?

Bazoo, I use Mepps #3 and #4 undressed spinners. I'm not sure about other brands, but with Mepps, I retrieve them just fast enough to get the blade spinning, and I never have line twist. Other brands may vary, and as been said Spro are good swivels. Sampo is my own favourite.

Thanks all.

 

I have roostertails. I retrieve them slow, but still get line twist. Some worms I have twist too. I normally combat this by twisting the line the other way while the lure dangles then casting out to let the new opposite twist get up the line.

Rooster tails are the worst when it comes to line twist. The blades don’t spin as easily as Mepps or blue fox for example. Brand isn’t as critical as making sure the swivel is a bearing style.
